Anti-HBs antibody kinetics--a 4-year follow-up after hepatitis B vaccination
1Institute for Laboratory Medicine, St. Markus-Krankenhaus, Frankfurt, Germany.
Abstract:
To describe anti-HBs kinetics after hepatitis B vaccination, a logarithmic function was established using anti-HBs determinations in sera drawn from 97 to 147 vaccinees at 5 times during a 4 year follow-up period. A comparison with 2 published mathematical models showed that the logarithmic formula was less complex, and computed values correlated better with real anti-HBs titres.
