A hepatitis B vaccine produced in yeast by recombinant DNA technology was evaluated using 5-micrograms and 10-micrograms doses in a randomized trial lasting 7 months in 110 male armed forces recruits aged 17-19 years. Results were compared to those of an identical trial of a plasma-derived vaccine.
Horizontal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) from illicit drug users to their contacts, including young children, can be prevented by active immunization against HBV. Yeast-recombinant hepatitis B vaccines are now available for this purpose, but their potential efficacy in such high-risk conta
