Hepatitis B Vaccine Non-Responders Show Higher Frequencies of CD24highCD38high Regulatory B Cells and Lower Levels of IL-10 Expression Compared to Responders

Regulatory B cells (Breg) known as modulators of B-and T-cell responses may contribute to poor vaccine responsiveness. The current study aimed to investigate...
