Failure of vaccination against hepatitis B with Gen H-B-Vax-D in immunosuppressed heart transplant recipients.

Abstract
Some 86 heart transplant recipients under immunosuppressive therapy were vaccinated against hepatitis B using the vaccine Gen H-B-Vax-D, but 95.3% failed to develop protective levels of HBs-specific antibody (more than 10 U/l) after the third vaccination.
