They are considered protected if they have a hepatitis B surface antigen antibody (anti-HBs) titer of ≥10 mIU/mL after completing a full vaccination series. This study compared the effectiveness ...

For this reason, antibody levels are regularly tested during dialysis with a blood test called the hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb). If HBsAb levels are ever found to be low, a hep B booster ...

Methods: We determined antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) at 4-13 years of age in 363 low risk children who had been vaccinated starting at birth with hepatitis B vaccine.
