The results showed SFCs per 106 PBMCs were 30.4 ± 4.3 (95% CI 18.4 to 50.4) for the wild type, 16.7 ± 5.5 (9.3–30.0) for R24K, 17.7 ± 4.2 (10.9–29.0) for L21W, 12.5 ± 7.1 (6.4–24.5) for L21S/R24K, and 16.7 ± 5.6 (9.3–30.1) for L21S/R24K/Q30L, indicating that IFN-γ-secreting cells were lower towards variants in this region, particularly for R24K and L21S/R24K variants (paired t-test, p < 0.01) |

Abstract
|
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate immunity against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) mutants before and after boosters in adolescents who had lost antibodies against HBsAg (anti-HBs) despite neonatal vaccination. METHODS: We recruited 142 participants from 15 to 21 years old who had received complete vaccination in infancy but became anti-HBs-negative. Cellular immunity to HBsAg and T-cell epitope variants was assessed before and after boosters. Antibody affinity to variants was assessed after boosters. RESULTS: After one dose of booster, 12 out of 140 (8.6%) participants remained anti-HBs-negative. Anti-HBs titres were higher in those participants <17 (geometric mean, 337.9 +/- 10.9 vs. 157.4 +/- 16.6 mIU/mL, p = 0.012). Before the booster, HBsAg-specific cell proliferation was present in 58 out of 64 (90.6%) participants. The proliferation response rates to T-cell epitopes were 37.8% and 72.6% (p < 0.001) before and after the booster, respectively. The stimulation index improved from 1.25 +/- 1.70 to 2.53 +/- 2.32 (p < 0.001) for various T-cell epitopes. HBsAg-specific interleukin (IL)-5- and interferon (IFN)-gamma-secreting T-cells were enhanced (45 +/- 10 and 50 +/- 4 to 420 +/- 328 and 355 +/- 424 spot-forming cells/10(6) cells, respectively, p < 0.001). IFN-gamma-secreting T cells to epitope 16-33 containing R24K and the antibody affinity to sG145R were still significantly lower than to the wild type. CONCLUSIONS: In immunized adolescents who lost anti-HBs, around 10% also lost immune memory. Cellular immunity to some T-cell epitope variants improved after the booster. Antibody affinity to sG145R and the IFN-gamma-secreting cell response to some epitope 16-33 variants were still impaired even after booster administration.
