Hepatitis B is a global public health concern. Inducing hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) through vaccination is a crucial preventive strategy. However, individuals show varying immune responses to the hepatitis B vaccine. Based on HBsAb levels, individuals can be categorized as high responders, low responders, or non-responders. T cells and their subsets play critical roles in modulating this response, and the composition of the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire also influences immune responsiveness. Investigating the characteristics of T cells, their subsets, and TCR repertoires in individuals with differential responses post-vaccination may provide theoretical guidance for optimizing vaccine design and immunization strategies.
乙型肝炎是一个全球公共卫生问题。通过接种疫苗诱导产生乙型肝炎表面抗体(HBsAb)是一项关键的预防策略。然而,个体对乙型肝炎疫苗的免疫反应各不相同。根据HBsAb水平,个体可分为高反应者、低反应者或无反应者。T细胞及其亚群在调节这种反应中起关键作用,T细胞受体(TCR)库的组成也会影响免疫反应性。研究接种疫苗后不同反应个体的T细胞、其亚群和TCR库的特征,可能为优化疫苗设计和免疫策略提供理论指导。
