Abstract:
The amount of lymphocyte B and the responding capacity to create antibody of activated lymphocyte B are two important parameters to assess the humoral-immunity responding capacity of healthy and unhealthy bodies. The amount of lymphocyte B were determined in 22 healthy Katu minority living in Nam Dong district, Hue city with technique direct immuno-fluorescence, and 64 Katu people have HbsAg(-) and anti-HbsAg(-), who were studied the responsive capacity to create antibody against hepatitis B vaccine with technique ELISA. The control group are Kinh people of the same criterion. Results: The amount of lymphocyte B in 1mm3 blood: 354.9 101.1; lower than that of the Kinh people of the same age, same occupation, with p < 0.05. The responding capacity to create antibody against hepatitis B vaccine at good standard, 84.4%; that is higher than that of the Kinh people, however with p > 0.05
