Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Hepatitis B
Interventions
Biological: HEPLISAV

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluate the changes in cellular responses and gene expression patterns in serial blood samples collected from healthy older adults after vaccination with HEPLISAV.Day 1, 3, and 7 and on Day 28
Determine which of these changes correlate with the development of protective levels of antibody (anti-HBs >/= 10 milli-international unit (mIU)/mL) to hepatitis B virus (HBV).Day 1, 3, and 7 and on Day 28
