Objective: To investigate the correlation between the proportion of CTL and Th1 cells in peripheral blood of liver transplant recipients and the success of hepatitis B vaccination. Methods: The subjects of this study were liver transplantation recipients with chronic HBV-related liver diseases in Organ transplantation institute of the third medical center of PLA general hospital. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups for prospective study. In the rapid group, one dose of 40 μg hepatitis B vaccine was administered at 0, 1, 2and 3 months, and one dose of 20 μg hepatitis B vaccine was administered at 4, 5 and 6 months. In the rapid-enhanced group, one dose of 40 μg hepatitis B vaccine was administered at 0, 1, 2 and 3 months, and one dose of 60 μg hepatitis B vaccine was administered at 4, 5 and 6months. Compare and analyze the success rate of inoculation, the titer of hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), the proportion of CTL cells in CD8(+)T cells and Th1 cells in CD4(+)T cells. Correlation analysis was performed for CTL and Th1 cells and anti-HBs, Observe the safety of vaccination. Results: The inoculation success rate, anti-HBs growth rate, CTL cell percentage increase and Th1 cell percentage increase in the rapid enhancement group were all higher than those in the rapid enhancement group, and the differences were statistically significant, they were 38.3% (23/60) vs 21.7% (13/60) (P=0.046), 91.3(72.5,124.2) vs 22.1(12.4, 31.6) (P=0.001), 1.4(0.8,1.9) vs 0.4(0.2,1.4) (P=0.001) and 7.4±2.6 vs 5.6±3.7 (P=0.001) respectively. The percentage increase of CTL cells and Th1 cells in the successful group was greater than that in the non-successful group, and the difference was statistically significant. They were 1.9(1.4,2.5) vs 0.1(0.0,1.1) (P=0.024) and 9.6±3.1 vs 2.4±2.0 (P<0.001). There was no significant correlation between anti-HBs increase (105.5±37.1) and CTL increase 1(0,3) (P=0.099), while there was significant positive correlation with Th1 increase 7(2,11) (P<0.001). No rejection reaction occurred during the study period, and there was no special abnormal change in the safety index. Conclusion: Reasonable increase of vaccine dose can up-regulate Th1 cell expression and promote the generation of anti-HBs.
