Long-term immunity and IgG subclass response following Hepatitis E vaccination: A longitudinal cohort study in Matlab, Bangladesh
This research reveals the first long-term IgG subclass-specific and cellular immunity data following HEV 239 vaccination in an endemic population. The findings demonstrate durable immune responses and offer crucial evidence to inform future HEV vaccination strategies for endemic regions like Bangladesh.
