N2 - The efficacy of 10-μg and 40-μg hepatitis B vaccines was compared with that of an investigational vaccine containing pre-S1, pre-S2, and S subunit particles (mixed particle vaccine) in inducing protective anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) concentrations in 46 otherwise healthy persons who previously did not develop measurable levels of antibodies to at least one complete course of vaccine. A statistically significant difference was seen in the percentage of subjects who developed protective levels of anti-HBs (≤10 mIU/mL) with three 40-μg doses of S subunit vaccine versus the other groups. One hundred percent of the 40-μg dose group developed protective anti-HBs titers. No difference in adverse effects was noted.
