ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
T cells with edited T cell receptor ß-chain variable (TRBV) are involved in the immune response to recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (rHBsAg) vaccine and the production of hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb). The immune repertoire (IR) profile and mechanism of vaccination positive responders (VPR) with rHBsAg are not fully understood.METHODS:
The IR of six VPRs (HBsAb+, HbsAg-) with rHBsAg vaccination was established by the high throughput sequencing technique and bioinformatics analysis and compared with those in five vaccination negative responders (VNRs) (HbsAb-, HbsAg-) who were also inoculated with rHBsAg. The repertoire features of the BV, BJ and V (CDR3) J genes and immune diversity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, respectively, were analyzed for each subject.RESULTS:
There was no significant difference in sequencing amplification indices of each sample. However, TRBV15/BJ2-3 demonstrated significantly high expression levels in VPR compared to those in the VNR group (both p < 0.05). Further results showed that the BV15/BJ2-5 level was significantly increased for VPR compared to that of VNR group. Interestingly, the motif of CDR3 in TRBV15/BJ2-5 was mostly expressed as "GGETQ" or "GETQ". Additionally, there was no remarkable difference between the two groups of distribution with respect to the different clone expression levels of V (CDR3) J.CONCLUSIONS:
The features of IR in the VPR and VNR will contribute to the exploration of the mechanism of the positive response to rHBsAg, and also contribute to development of optimized hepatitis B vaccine, in addition to providing a partial interpretation of the VNR who has a relatively low infection with HBV.Palabras clave
