Dr. Akio Miyasaka in Iwate Medical University has published a paper in "Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics" titled "Next-generation sequencing analysis of the human T-cell and B-cell receptor repertoire diversity before and after hepatitis B vaccination"

This study is about the hepatitis B (HB) vaccine and aims to clarify the immune response before vaccination, after the second vaccination and after the third vaccination with HB vaccine.
T cell receptor (TCR) β chain and B cell receptor (BCR) IgG were analyzed by our repertoire analysis.

Our analysis may help clarify the immune response to the HB vaccine.
