[HTML][HTML] Comparing humoral and cellular immune response against HBV vaccine in kidney transplant patients
P Friedrich, A Sattler, K Müller, M Nienen… - American Journal of …, 2015 - Elsevier
Host protection upon vaccination usually results from the complex interplay of humoral and
cellular components of the immune system. Exploring hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-
specific T cell responses and their correlation with humoral responses under
immunosuppression, we analyzed 51 renal transplant recipients, differing in HBV vaccine–
specific antibody titers (non [NRs]-, low [LRs]-, and high responders [HRs]) and in 22 healthy
controls (HCs) in a cross-sectional study. HBsAg-specific T cells were analyzed by flow …
