This substudy will enroll volunteers from participants of ATN 024 and ATN 025. Participants in ATN 024 are HIV-infected youths aged 12-24 years while participants in ATN 025 are HIV-uninfected youths aged 12-17 years. These youths must also be negative for HBV core antibody, HBV surface antigen, and HBV surface antibody to be eligible.
Blood will be drawn from study participants prior to immunization, 1 month after completion of primary immunization and at study exit (week 72 for ATN 024 and week 76 for ATN 025) for cytokine assays and enumeration of antibody-secreting cells. In addition, the antibody to HBV surface antigen will be determined 2 and 4 weeks after supplemental immunization in nonresponders to the primary series and at study exit.
This laboratory substudy is designed to evaluate some aspects of cellular immune response to hepatitis B vaccination that are directly related to the generation and durability of antibody response to HBV surface antigen in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected adolescents. Cytokine production by peripheral mononuclear cells will be determined following in-vitro stimulation, and antibody-secreting cells will be enumerated.

- To measure interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin -4 (IL-4), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) production in serologic responders and non-responders. [ Time Frame: Before and one month after receipt of primary series of immunization. ]
- To measure concentration of hepatitis B antibodies in serologic responders and non-responders. [ Time Frame: 1, 2, and 4 weeks after supplemental vaccine dose. ]
- To measure concentration of antibody-secreting cells in serologic responders and non-responders. [ Time Frame: Before and one month after receipt of primary series of immunization. ]
- Measure whether the profile of cytokine secretion or the number of antibody-secreting cells can be used as a predictor of anamnestic response to a supplemental vaccine dose following serologic nonresponse to a primary series of immunization. [ Time Frame: Prior to immunization, 1 month after primary immunization, at study exit (week 72 for ATN 024; week 76 for ATN 025); at 2 & 4 weeks after supplemental immunization in nonresponders, & at study exit for ATN 024 subjects. ]
- To compare the rate of loss of antibody-secreting cells after vaccination through the end of the study in each vaccine arm. [ Time Frame: Prior to immunization, 1 month after completion of primary immunization and at study exit. ]
