Target intelligence / Profile preview

Immune system (antibody induction against HBsAg)

Molecular classification
Immune System, Antibody Response
01

Overview

The immune response targeting hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is crucial for preventing and controlling hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Vaccination with HBsAg induces protective anti-HBs antibodies, primarily through B cell activation supported by T cell immunity. Effective clearance or control of HBV requires robust adaptive immunity.

02

Mechanism of action

Induction of anti-HBs antibodies through B cell activation and T cell help, leading to neutralization of circulating HBV particles and prevention of infection.

Biomarkers

Anti-HBs antibody titer (≥10 mIU/mL indicates protective immunity)HBsAg presence (indicates active infection)HBV DNA load (indicates viral replication)
