What are the Histological Markers of Immunity Post-Vaccination?
Following successful vaccination, the presence of anti-HBs antibodies in the serum indicates immunity. In a histological context, the liver tissue of a vaccinated individual would appear normal, without signs of inflammation or fibrosis. The absence of HBV DNA in hepatocytes, which can be confirmed through molecular techniques like in situ hybridization, would also indicate that the individual is protected from the virus.
