Effects of vaccine-acquired polyclonal anti-HBs antibodies on the prevention of HBV infection of non-vaccine genotypes

Background In universal hepatitis B (HB) vaccination, single vaccine-derived polyclonal anti-HBs antibodies (anti-HBs) need to inhibit infection of HB viruses (HBV) of non-vaccine genotypes. We experimentally addressed this issue. Methods Anti-HBs-positive sera were obtained by vaccination with geno...

Summary:Background In universal hepatitis B (HB) vaccination, single vaccine-derived polyclonal anti-HBs antibodies (anti-HBs) need to inhibit infection of HB viruses (HBV) of non-vaccine genotypes. We experimentally addressed this issue. Methods Anti-HBs-positive sera were obtained by vaccination with genotype A- or C-derived HBs antigen (HBsAg, gtA-sera or gtC-sera). Their reactivity to genotype A- and C-derived HBsAg (gtA-Ag and gtC-Ag) was measured by ELISA. The capacity of sera to neutralize HBV was evaluated using an in vitro infection model. Results Of 135 anti-gtA-Ag-reactive gtA-sera, 134 (99.3%) were anti-gtC-Ag-reactive. All (100%) 120 anti-gtC-Ag-reactive gtC-sera were anti-gtA-Ag-reactive. The reactivity to gtA-Ag was strongly correlated with that to gtC-Ag (gtA-sera, ρ  = 0.989; gtC-sera, ρ  = 0.953; p
