Hepatitis B Infection is an occupational high risk factor. Immune response for vaccination was measured by Antibody to Hepatitis B surface antigen (anti HBs) levels. A course of Hep B vaccine yields a protective immune response (anti-HBs ≥10 mIU/mL) this study was designed to determine the anti HBs levels in Health Care Workers (HCWs) working as laboratory technician and staff nurses.

FLAG-taggedwild-type (FPolE) andmutant (FPolE/D551A)HBV polymerases have been expressed in insect cells and purified. The purified FPolE showed DNA polymerase activity, but FPolE/D551A did not, implying that the activity was derived from FPolE....

There are two brands of vaccine in the United States: Recombivax HB (Merck) and Engerix B (GlaxoSmithKline). Although both vaccines will provide equal protection against hepatitis B, doctors may order one brand or another. How is the vaccine given? In general, the hepatitis B...
