Abstract

Background: Hepatitis B vaccination has been included in routine immunization of all individuals according to WHO recommendations since 1991. Despite successful coverage, 3-5% of recipients fail to mount a desirable protection level of Ab. Vaccine failure results from: emergence of mutation, immune failure of individuals, decrease in vaccine potency, and etc. The quality of Hepatitis B vaccine should be evaluated by a reliable method.Methods: The amount of vaccine antigen was measured through the IN VITRO assay of Hepatitis B vaccines which consists of multiple dilutions of the reference material and samples. The preparations were evaluated by Elisa to determine the amount of HBsAg. The data were analyzed by parallel-line analysis software. The IN VIVO assay was performed by inoculating multiple doses of the reference and sample preparations in Balb/c mice. A control group was also inoculated with vaccine matrix. Four weeks later, the mice sera were evaluated to determine the presence of antibodies against Hepatitis B by Elisa method. The data were analyzed by Probit analysis software.Results: Both methods were set up in our laboratory by which different batches of Hepatitis B vaccine were evaluated. It was observed that IN VIVO and IN VITRO methods provide comparable results. Therefore we can use the IN VITRO method for routine testing of HB vaccine quality control.Conclusion: IN VITRO method can be used in place of IN VIVO method because of its time and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, since no animals are used in IN VITRO method, it complies well with the 3R CONCEPT (Reduction, Refinement, and Replacement of animal testing) and the current tendency to use alternative method.
