Abstract
Vaccines against hepatitis B virus confer effective protection. ELISA was developed to test for specific antibodies in female genital tract secretions. Anti-HBs IgG and IgA were detected in the cervico-vaginal secretions of women following Hepatitis B vaccination, indicating a potential genital tract role for neutralising antibodies against sexually transmitted HBV.
