2004 NOV 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Antinuclear antibody absorption by hepatitis B vaccine warrants evaluation.

According to published research from France, "the aim of this work is to propose a method to search for a possible antigenic community between hepatitis B vaccine components and some auto-antibodies produced in rare patients with an autoimmune disease discovered few weeks or months after a hepatitis B vaccine injection."

"A 12-year-old girl showed symptoms of tranverse myelitis 2 months after a hepatitis B vaccine booster injection. Later, high titers of antinuclear antibodies were found and a diagnosis of neurolupus was established," said J. Poirriez and colleagues, CIMOT, Department of Industrial and Preventative Medicine.

"One serum was then mixed with various concentrations of hepatitis B vaccine. The antinuclear antibodies were totally absorbed at the highest concentration of vaccine, but not by the lowest. Anti-HBs specific antibodies were absorbed by all concentrations of vaccine."

"The results of this single preliminary experiment (which has to be repeated for other patients, and with large control studies) cannot establish a cross relationship. ...
