  • Title: Immunogenicity of a recombinant yeast-derived hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix B) in children.
    Author: Moyes C, Milne A.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1988 Apr 13; 101(843):162-4. PubMed ID: 2965799.
    Abstract:
    Eighty-one children seronegative for markers of hepatitis B virus infection aged 0-10 years received 10 micrograms of a yeast-based hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix B) at 0, 1, and 6 months. Eighty subjects responded with a geometric mean titre of 7640 IU/L one month after the third dose. All seroconverters produced high level of antibodies regardless of age, race, or sex. It is concluded that Engerix B used in the dose and schedule described is highly immunogenic.
