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.

We tested the safety and long-term immunogenicity of two of the early investigative lots of a recombinant-yeast-derived hepatitis B vaccine in immunocompetent adults. Three 10-micrograms doses of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (Merck Sharp & Dohme Research Laboratories, West Point, PA) were adminis
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
## Abstract The immunogenicity of plasmaβderived (HB Vax, MSD) and recombinant hepatitis B virus (Engerix B, SKF) vaccines was evaluated in infants born to hepatitis B virus carrier mothers. The vaccination was carried out at 1 day, 1 month, and 6 months of age using 10 ΞΌg of the vaccine given intr
