Abstract

The immune response to current hepatitis B vaccines appears to be qualitatively different from the response elicited during recovery from natural infection. Such disparate responses can probably be explained by the absence or under-representation of preS- and the nucleoprotein core-specific determinants in the vaccines. The incorporation of these determinants into future vaccines may improve their efficacy.
