Abstract
Pioneering development of the plasma-derived and yeast-derived recombinant hepatitis B vaccines represents a major contribution to preventive health care of this century. Current and expanding worldwide application of hepatitis B vaccine promises to eliminate and eventually eradicate hepatitis B infection from the human population and, with it, many cases of cirrhosis and cancer of the liver.
