INTRODUÇÃO: A hepatite B é uma enfermidade para a qual não existe tratamento curativo efetivo e que pode determinar graves conseqüências, como o desenvolvimento de cirrose e carcinoma hepático. Segundo dados da OMS, mais de dois bilhões de pessoas estão infectadas pelo vírus da hepatite B e esta doença é responsável por 500.000 a um milhão de óbitos por ano, em todo o mundo. Em pacientes com infecção pelo HIV, é freqüente a co-infecção pelo vírus da hepatite B, pelo fato de serem vírus que compartilham modos semelhantes de transmissão.

Abstract:
To protect against sexual transmission, successful future HIV vaccines will likely be given to adolescents as a booster subsequent to primary immunization during infancy. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), a large proportion of children are chronically infected with a variety of helminths. These infections may suppress the ability of a host to elicit vaccine-induced Th1 responses that are considered important for a successful HIV vaccine.

The best known correlate of protection provided by vaccines is the presence of pathogen specific antibodies after immunization.

This necessitates in depth study of the humoral responses elicited during infection and by vaccination. While a significant amount of effort has been invested in studying the evolution of antibody responses to viral infection, only limited progress in understanding antibody responses elicited
