新生儿大规模乙型肝炎血源疫苗免疫的效果考核

在上海、广东、湖南、河北四省市试点区200万人口中,每年用乙型肝炎血源疫苗免疫新生儿3万人。四省市四年平均接种率为91％～95％。除上海地区对HBsAg阳性母亲的新生儿的免疫剂量为20μg×3外,其余地区大多来用10μg×3。免疫后1至2年和3至4年期间两次考核免疫效果。免疫后3～4年检检测省市HBsAg阳性率平均为1.78％,同免疫前本底对照的16.2％相比,下降88.98％(82.68％～92.71％)。上海4岁婴儿HBsAg阳性率降至0.98％,比免疫前本底对照的9.38％降低89.57％。四年后抗HBs阳性率在67.8％～81.6％之间。本项研究表明,新生儿血源乙型肝炎疫苗普遍免疫的效果极佳。如普遍使用10μg剂量,HBsAg阳性率可从10％下降至2％～3％左右。结合其它研究结果,如对HBsAg阳性孕妇的新生儿首剂使用30μg免疫,或加用HBIg,则新一代人HBsAg阳性率将降至1％以下。     

少年儿童接种乙型肝炎血源疫苗的效果评价

5～15岁的HBV易感儿童,按0、1、6月程序接种10μg×3乙型肝炎血源疫苗(北京生研所批号8615-1A、8722-2)。接种后1～2年他们的抗-HBs阳转率为～92％,无一例HBsAg阳转;未接种疫苗的对照组儿童,抗-HBs阳转率仅2.08％～2.60％,HBsAg阳转率分别为3.23％和2.08％。流行病学保护效果良好。易感少年儿童接种乙型肝炎血源疫苗将加快控制乙型肝炎的进程。     

HBsAg阴性母亲的新生儿接种不同剂量乙型肝炎血源疫苗的效果

HBsAg阴位母亲的新生儿,按0,1、6月程序分别接种10-10-10μg(1组)、20-10-10μg(2组)和30-10-10μg(3组)乙型肝炎血源疫苗。第一针后一年,检查抗-HBs阳转率,分别为87.60％,90.64％和88.97％,无统计学显著差异。3针10μg组免疫后l～4年抗-HBs阳性率分别为88.31％、81.08％、80.10％和78.39％,虽稍下降,但无统计学显著差异。3个剂量组HBsAg阳性率分别为0.71％,0.49％和0.74％,说明HBsAg阴性母亲的新生儿,用国产血源HBsAg疫苗免疫以10μ×3效果较理想。     

新生儿接种10μg3针乙型肝炎血源疫苗5年内的免疫效果观察

1986～1958年,对广东3个城市1～5岁儿童乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染做横断面调查的基础上,给新生儿普种乙型肝炎血源疫苗。出生后24小时内接种1针,1、6个月接种第、3针,每针10μg,共接种1万余名。免疫后抽查HBsAg阳性母亲新生儿血380人份,HBsAg阴性母亲新生儿血1466人份。同时采集同期出生的未免疫的新生儿血116份作为内对照。以放射免疫法(RIA)检测HBV指在。结果,新生儿免疫后1～5年,标化抗-HBs阳转率为67.3％～79.1％。免疫后1～5年HBsAg阳性率与免前HBsAg阳性率比较,其保护率为65.8％～92.1％;与平行内对照的HBsAg阳性率比较,保护率为58.6％～88.1％。且发现HBsAg阳性母亲的新生儿,随免疫年限延长,HBsAg阳性率有降低趋向。     

广州市1992-2007年出生新生儿接种乙型肝炎疫苗免疫效果评估

为评估广州市新生儿乙型肝炎疫苗(HepB)接种纳入计划免疫管理后免疫效果。对1992-2007年出生并接种HepB的新生儿2877人,按1992-2001年和2002-2007年出生新生儿分为计划免疫管理前(Ⅰ组)、计划免疫管理后(Ⅱ组)2组,采血检测乙肝病毒表面抗原(HBsAg)、乙肝病毒表面抗体(抗-HBs)和乙肝病毒核心抗体(抗-HBc)。Ⅱ组HBsAg阳性率为0.48%比Ⅰ组的4.54%阳性率下降了80.65%,在统计学意义上有显著差异。抗-HBc阳性率也由36.07%下降为26.73%,Ⅱ组的抗-HBs阳性率为75.19%,高于I组水平。新生儿乙型肝炎疫苗纳入计划免疫管理后群体免疫效果良好,使用不同种类乙肝疫苗效果没有统计学差异。重组(酵母)乙型肝炎疫苗有较好的近期保护效果和免疫原性,与以前使用血源乙型肝炎疫苗效果相当。     

乙型肝炎血源疫苗不同免疫剂量阻断新生儿母婴传播的效果观察

用乙型肝炎血源疫苗,按0、1、6程序,分5种不同剂量免疫HBsAg和HBeAg均阳性(双阳性)母亲和仅HBsAg阳性母亲的新生儿,井于首针后8～12个月采血,用放射免疫(RIA)法检测他们的HBsAg和抗-HBs、抗-HBc,以比较不同剂量乙肝疫苗阻断母婴传播的效果。结果,10μg×3组对双阳性和仅HBsAg阳性母亲的新生儿的保护率,分别是42.9％和53.5％;20μ×3组为67.4％和69.7％;30μg、10μg、10μg组为75.6％和79.8％,30.20、20μg(含30、30、10μg)组为80.2％和81.5％;30μg×3组为82.3％和83.7％。随疫苗剂量增加保护率逐渐增加,抗-HBs阳转率也是如此。     

国产重组酵母乙型肝炎疫苗接种小学生的五年免疫效果观察

为了解国产重组酵母乙肝疫苗的免疫持久性,对接种2批国产酵母疫苗（5μg/Dose),1批进口酵母疫苗（A;10μg/Dose)和另1批进口酵母疫苗（M;5μg/Dose)的268名小学生,进行了免后5年（T60）效果随访观察。结果表明,T60时接种A疫苗组抗体GMT（几何平均滴度）（197．53）显著高于M疫苗组（110．66）和2批国产疫苗（9312645GMT78．48,9312623GMT56．06）。抗体阳转率A疫苗组（85．71％）显著高于M疫苗组及国产两批疫苗（61．76％、65．26％、63．83％）（P＜0．05）。而国产两批疫苗与M疫苗组无显著性差异（P＞0．05）。本次随访结果表明,虽然国产酵母疫苗免后5年的抗体阳转率和抗体GMT与剂量相同的进口酵母疫苗的水平相当,但抗体阳转率已降至70％以下,应考虑加强接种。     

转基因细胞分泌乙型肝炎重组疫苗在儿童中的免疫原性初步研究

本文报告用转基因细胞B43分泌的乙型肝炎病毒表面抗原主蛋白经纯化制成的87-4批重组疫苗进行临床接种观察的结果,同时用8723-1批血源疫苗作对照。疫苗接种采用0、1、2月各接种1针的方案。重组疫苗共接种111名8～13岁儿童,分为20μg、10μg及5μg 3组,血源疫苗分为20μg、10μg 2组。所有儿童接种前检查乙型肝炎病毒表面抗原、抗体及核心抗体均阴性.20μg组1针后1个月,重组疫苗阳转率60.5％,血源疫苗为31％;2针后1个月,两种疫苗的阳转率分别为100％和72.4％;血源疫苗3针后1个月阳转率也仅79.3％。3针后1个月两种疫苗的抗体几何平均滴度(GMT)分别为492.7和207.4mIU。但重组疫苗6个月后血清抗体的GMT为628mIU。10μg组1针后1个月的阳转率重组疫苗为21.7％,血源疫苗为20.9％;2针后1个月分别为87％及62.8％;3针后1个月分别为100％及81.4％。抗体GMT分别为163.7和129.6mIU.5μg组的重组疫苗免疫后6个月100％阳转,其GMT为56mIU。结论认为无论从阳转率或几何平均滴度分析判断,重组疫苗均优于血源疫苗。     

不同批号乙型肝炎血源疫苗的免疫效果

以北京和上海生物制品研究所生产的不同批号的乙型开炎血源疫苗,免疫HBsAg和HBeAg均阳性母亲及HBsAg阴性母亲的新生儿,以及不同年龄的儿童和成人HBV易感者,程序为0、1、6个月。在第一针后9～12个月采血,用RIA法检测抗-HBs,S/N≥10.0为阳性。观察不同批号疫苗兔疫后的抗-HBs阳转率。6个批号的疫苗,以30、10、10μg和30μg×3剂量免疫HBsAg和HBeAg均阳性母亲的新生儿210人,抗-HBs阳转率为74.46％～84.09％,7个批号以10μg×3免疫阴性母亲的新主儿1510人,抗-HBs阳转率为80.29％～96.24％;3个批号以10μg×3免疫易感儿童238人,2号批号以10μg×3疫易感成年人127人,抗-HBs阳转率前者为87％～100.0％,后者为90％～96％。如按S/N≥2.1计算,抗-HBs阳转率可全部达到90％以上。提示我国生产的乙肝疫苗对各年龄人群都有较好的免疫反应,个别批号间有些差异,但经统计处理多无显著意义。     

新生儿乙型肝炎血源疫苗的免疫策略和成本效益分析

比较了6种新生儿血源乙型肝炎疫苗的免疫方案,其中一种只免疫HBsAg阳性母亲的婴儿效果最差,群体有效率仅17.79％,成本效益比值亦低。其它5种方案都是对全部新生儿进行免疫,效果均好。这5种方案是10μg与3μg两种剂量的不同组合,其中用10μgg3JI疫者成本效益比值最高,有效率为78.61％。HBsAg阳性母亲新生儿按30μg×3,而阴性母亲婴儿首剂用30μg,第2、3剂各10μg,有效率高达87.47％,但成本效益比值最低。应根据我国经济发展的水平与群众的承受能力,对各地区选用不同的新生儿免疫方案。     

婴儿围产期感染乙型肝炎病毒后各项血清学指标的动态变化

本文观察了102名新生儿出生后至18月龄的HBV血清学指标的动态变化,婴儿分成乙型肝炎疫苗按种组(63人)和对照组(39人), 观察期间HBsAg始终阴性的70名婴儿,出生后6、12和18月龄的抗-HBc阳性率依次为90％、30％和4.3％;而HBsAg阳转的27名婴儿,18月龄时抗-HBc全都阳性,但仅有6名婴儿在6月龄时测出IgM抗-HBc,疫苗接种组婴儿出生后1、3、6、12和18月龄的抗-HBs阳性率,依次为28.6％、76.2％、77。8％、82.5％和82.5％;对照组婴儿18月龄时抗-HBs阳性率仅为12.8％。     

乙型肝炎病毒胎内及围产期传播的研究

对78名HBsAg携带者母亲的新生儿系列血清,用ELISA检测抗-HBc·IgM,有5名出生后48小时血清阳性滴度在1:1,000以上,占6％。有3名母血HBeAg阳性的新生儿,其脐血、出生后48小时足跟血及以后的连续血清标本HBsAg均阳性,且滴度趋于升高。母血抗-HBc·IgM均阴性。认为前者可能为HBV眙内感染,后者为母血通过胎盘溃面直接进入胎儿血循环所致。     

新生儿国产重组(酵母)乙型肝炎疫苗免疫效果考核

为了考核新生儿接种国产重组(酵母)乙型肝炎(乙肝)疫苗后的免疫效果,并与血源乙肝疫苗效果比较。对1997年出生并接种重组(酵母)乙肝疫苗的新生儿隔年随访一次,采血检测乙肝病毒表面抗原(HBsAg),乙肝病毒表面抗体(抗-HBs)和乙肝病毒核心抗体(抗-HBc),1998年以后对乙肝免疫人群开展急性乙肝发病监测。显示五年期间3次随访检测HBsAg阳性率平均为1.5%,较免前本底的HBsAg阳性率呈较大幅度下降,疫苗保护率为83%(95%可信区间为76.97%~89.02%),无论母亲HBsAg阳性或阴性,使用不同乙肝疫苗的儿童HBsAg阳性率没有统计学差异。接受重组(酵母)乙肝疫苗免疫的对象中,无一例急性乙肝病例报告。重组(酵母)乙肝疫苗有较好的近期保护效果和免疫原性,与以前使用血源乙肝疫苗效果相当。     

HBsAg阴性母亲及其婴儿乙肝疫苗接种情况和免疫效果研究

目的：了解乙肝表面抗原阴性（HBsAg阴性）母亲及其婴儿乙肝疫苗接种情况及抗-HBs滴度水平,从而为今后针对该特殊人群进行更好的乙肝疫苗免疫策略提供依据。方法：2010年5月～2010年10月,对陕西省227对HBsAg阴性母亲及其婴幼儿（月龄为8～24月）进行流行病学调查并采集血液标本,对母婴血清抗-HBs进行定性及定量检测。结果：母亲乙肝表面抗体（抗-HBs）阳性率为45.4%,抗-HBs平均滴度为12.88 mIU/mL（95%CI：8.91-18.19）。婴儿乙肝疫苗首针、第二针和第三针的及时接种率分别为95.2%,93.8%和85.9%。婴儿抗-HBs阳性率为77.1%,抗-HBs平均滴度为37.15 mIU/mL（95%CI：28.18-48.98）。结论：婴儿乙肝疫苗首针及时接种率较高,但三针全程及时接种率仍需提高。母亲抗-HBs阳性率较低,应当重视HBsAg阴性孕龄妇女的乙肝疫苗接种及乙肝标志物的检测,从而提高该人群的乙肝免疫水平。     

Vaccine- and hepatitis B immune globulin-induced escape mutations of hepatitis B virus surface antigen

Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) vaccination has been shown to be effective in preventing hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The protection is based on the induction of anti-HBs antibodies against a major cluster of antigenic epitopes of HBsAg, defined as the 'a' determinant region of small HBsAg. Prophylaxis of recurrent HBV infection in patients who have undergone liver transplantation for hepatitis B-related end-stage liver disease is achieved by the administration of hepatitis B immune globulins (HBIg) derived from HBsAg-vaccinated subjects. The anti-HBs-mediated immune pressure on HBV, however, seems to go along with the emergence and/or selection of immune escape HBV mutants that enable viral persistence in spite of adequate antibody titers. These HBsAg escape mutants harbor single or double point mutations that may significantly alter the immunological characteristics of HBsAg. Most escape mutations that influence HBsAg recognition by anti-HBs antibodies are located in the second 'a' determinant loop. Notably, HBsAg with an arginine replacement for glycine at amino acid 145 is considered the quintessential immune escape mutant because it has been isolated consistently in clinical samples of HBIg-treated individuals and vaccinated infants of chronically infected mothers. Direct binding studies with monoclonal antibodies demonstrated a more dramatic impact of this mutation on anti-HBs antibody recognition, compared with other point mutations in this antigenic domain. The clinical and epidemiological significance of these emerging HBsAg mutants will be a matter of research for years to come, especially as data available so far document that these mutants are viable and infectious strains. Strategies for vaccination programs and posttransplantation prophylaxis of recurrent hepatitis need to be developed that may prevent immune escape mutant HBV from spreading and to prevent these strains from becoming dominant during the next decennia.     

Immunisation of neonates at high risk of hepatitis B in England and Wales: national surveillance.

The results of a voluntary programme of immunisation against hepatitis B in neonates at high risk (mother being positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and without hepatitis B e antibody or having had acute hepatitis B late in pregnancy) are reported. The programme was offered in England and Wales from November 1982. Passive immunisation alone was available in the first six months of life until 1985, after which infants received passive and active immunisation from birth; in addition, some infants received passive immunisation for six months followed by a course of hepatitis B vaccine. All but a few infants received the first immunising dose within 48 hours after birth. Blood samples for analysing markers of hepatitis B virus were available at 1 year from 147 of the 223 infants given passive immunisation, 54 of the 72 given passive followed by active immunisation, and 102 of the 155 given passive and active immunisation at birth. At 1 year 11 of the 127 (9%) infants given four or more doses of specific hepatitis B immunoglobulin were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen compared with four of the 20 given three or fewer doses; 11 had levels of hepatitis B surface antibody greater than 50 IU/l. Only one of the 54 infants given passive then active immunisation was positive for hepatitis B surface antigen at 1 year and four infants had low (less than or equal to 50 IU/l) levels of hepatitis B surface antibody. Four of the 102 infants who received passive and active immunisation at birth were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen. Two had received the fill course of vaccine, whereas in the other two vaccination was incomplete or unstated. In 79 of the 89 infants who received a complete course of vaccination the level of hepatitis B surface antibody was known, and 70 had levels at 1 year greater than 100 IU/1. Reactions to immunisation were not severe at any age. The incidence of side effects was 8% for the immunoglobulin, 11% for the vaccine, and 9% when immunoglobulin and vaccine were given together. Wider collaboration in the programme is requested.     

Protective effect of hepatitis B vaccine combined with two-dose hepatitis B immunoglobulin on infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers

Background

Despite the use of hepatitis B (HB) vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG), a portion of infants are still non- or low-responders, or even immunoprophylaxis failure. We aimed to determine the immune response in the infants from the mothers being positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), by which the infants received three doses of HB vaccine in combination with two-dose 200 IU HBIG injections.

Methods

In this retrospective study, 621 infants from HBsAg-positive mothers in Beijing YouAn Hospital between January 2008 and December 2009 were included. All the infants were given three doses of 10 µg HB vaccine (at 0, 1 and 6 months of age) and two-dose of 200 IU HBIG (at birth and in 2 weeks of age). Serum HBsAg and antibody to HBsAg (anti-HBs) in all the infants were determined at 7 months of age.

Results

Of the 621 infants, 2.9% were immunoprophylaxis failure (positive for HBsAg), 1.4% were non-responders (anti-HBs undetectable), 95.7% were responders. The 594 responders could be categorized into three subsets, 22 were 10 to 99 IU/L for anti-HBs levels, 191 were 100 to 999 IU/L, and 381 were ≥1000 IU/L. The immunoprophylaxis failure rate was at 0% and 5.2% for the infants of HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive mothers(P<0.001). Infants from mothers with detectable HBV DNA had higher incidence of immunoprophylaxis failure than those of mothers without detectable HBV DNA (P = 0.002). The factors including gender, birth weight, gestation weeks, the rates of maternal HBeAg-positive, and detectable HBV DNA did not contribute to the no response to HB vaccination.

Conclusions

Through vaccination by three doses of HB and two-dose of HBIG, majority of the infants (95.7%) achieved a protective level of anti-HBs at 7 months of age. Maternal HBeAg-positive and HBV DNA detectable were associated with the immunoprophylaxis failure, but not contribute to the non- or low-response to HB vaccination.     

Immunogenicity of hepatitis B surface antigen derived from the baculovirus expression vector system: a mouse potency study

A standard mouse potency test was performed to evaluate the immunogenicity of recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) produced in the baculovirus/insect cell expression system. Groups of NIH Swiss mice were immunized with serial four-fold amounts of either baculovirus-derived HBsAg adsorbed to aluminum sulfate or a commercially available yeast-derived recombinant HBsAg vaccine preparation. Results from these experiments showed that the effective dose of baculovirus- and yeast-derived HBsAg vaccine preparations necessary to seroconvert 50% of the animals were similar. The duration of the antibody response to HBsAg was studied in mice immunized with the highest doses of the two recombinant vaccine preparations 3 and 6 months after injection. No decrease in the anti-HBs response was observed 6 months after injection. No decrease in the anti-HBs response was observed 6 months after immunization with either of the two vaccine preparations. These results indicate that the baculovirus-derived recombinant HBsAg could serve as an alternative vaccine candidate for hepatitis B virus.     

四省观察点人群中血清乙型肝炎病毒表面抗原消长趋势调查

本文以前瞻性血清流行病学方法调查了人群中血清HBsAg消长趋势。观察了3 096名HBV易感者,其人年总感染率为7.0％;HBsAg人年阳转率为0.68％,两者之比为10.3:1.0。HBsAg阳转者中51.2％发生在0～3岁时期。调查了772例HBsAg携带者,其人年标化阴转率为2.01％,阴转者主要发生在10～29岁和50岁以上年龄组,占总阴转数的66.7％。以人群HBsAg阴转率加上因自然死亡而损失的HBsAg携带率和人群中HBsAg年增长率进行分析计算,得出HBsAg在观察点人群中的消长状况是呈上升趋势,即年增加率为0.370％,年减少率为0.264％。
