Vertically transmitted hepatitis B virus (HBV) usually causes chronic infection. While combined active-passive immunoprophylaxis in neonates of hepatitis B surface antigen-positive (HBsAg(+)) mothers at birth prevents vertical transmission, it is not yet clear whether neonates encounter the virus or its products in the absence of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). This study was undertaken to investigate HBV antigen-specific T-cell responses in vaccinated neonates of HBsAg(+)/HBeAg(-) mothers.

Materials And Methods: Testing of the resistance to compression after setting was performed following a modification of the method described in specification No. 19 (4.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the linear dimensional change and accompanying weight change of several elastomeric interocclusal recording media.
Materials And Methods: Ten 50 mm long, 8 mm wide, 3 mm deep Teflon molds and a stainless steel die were constructed for the purposes of this study. The die was made in order to produce standardized reference lines, which were used for the measurement of the linear change.
Purpose: To evaluate the consistency prior to the setting of 5 elastomeric interocclusal recording materials in comparison with a wax and a zinc oxide-eugenol paste. This property is related to the viscosity as well as to the working and setting times of these materials.
Materials And Methods: Testing of consistency was performed following a modification of the method described in ADA Specification No.
