human leukocyte antigens influence the antibody response to hepatitis b vaccine

چکیده
hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection and its sequelae such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma has remained a serious public health problem throughout the world. the who strategy for effective control of hbv infection and its complications is mass vaccination of neonates and children within the framework of expanded programme on immunization (epi). vaccination with hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) induces protective antibody response (anti-hbs ≥ 10 iu/l) in 90-99% of vaccinees.the lack of response to hbsag has been attributed to a variety of immunological mechanisms, including defect in antigen presentation, defect in hbsag-specific t and/or b cell repertoires, t-cell suppression, increase in the regulatory t cell count, lack of necessary help of t-cells for production of anti-hbs by b cells, defect in th1 and/or th2 cytokine production and selective killing of hbsag-specific b-cells by human leukocyte antigen (hla)-restricted cytotoxic t lymphocytes. the hla complex plays an important role in many of these immunological processes.a variety of hla class i, ii, and iii alleles and antigens have been reported to beassociated with antibody response to hbsag vaccination in different ethnic populations. moreover, some hla haplotypes were also associated with responsiveness to hbsag.in this review the association of the hla specificities with antibody response to hepatitis b (hb) vaccine is discussed.

background it is important to differentiate whether isolated anti-hbc is due to false positive results or the prior exposure to hepatitis b virus, because individuals with false-positive anti-hbc can benefit from vaccination and their blood can be safely transfused. to distinguish between these two conditions, we evaluated the serologic response to hepatitis b vaccine. methods ninety subjects w...
