Next-generation sequencing analysis of the human T-cell and B-cell receptor repertoire diversity before and after hepatitis B vaccination

The hepatitis B (HB) vaccine effectively prevents the incidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, vaccine failure occurs in 5–10% of the recipients. The precise mechanisms leading to responsiveness to the HB vaccine are poorly understood. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) may help clarif...
