Concept explainers
To answer:
The childhood immunization for hepatitis B viruseliminates hepatic cancer.
Introduction:
Hepatitis B virus is a double-stranded enveloped virus which replicates in the hepatocytes of the humans. It can be prevented by vaccines. There are two types of vaccines available for hepatitis B virus, Plasma-derived vaccines and recombinant vaccines. Plasma-derived vaccines are generated from the purified HBsAg which is obtained from the plasma of the person who has chronic HBV infection. Recombinant vaccines are from HBsAg that synthesized in the yeast cells.
To answer:
Why the vaccination is exposed only to hepatic B virus infected people.
Introduction:
Chronic HBV infection is causing approximately 60-90% hepatocellular carcinomas in the adults. The combination of hepatitis B vaccination and hepatitis B immunoglobin is the preventive vaccine for the newborn babies from the HBV infected mother.
