Abstract

A group of 92 medical students were immunized with a commercial recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix B). Antibody responses were determined and compared with those to plasma-derived Pasteur vaccine, obatined in 1986. Antibody concentrations were significantly higher in the group given recombinant vaccine, therefore this vaccine has superior immunogenicity and probably confers extended duration of protection.
