title: [Importance of vaccination chronic hepatitis B].
abstract: Weak therapeutic responses and weak immune cytotoxic CD8 and CD4 response in chronic hepatitis B emphasize the necessity to find new therapeutic strategies especially as specific immunotherapy. Vaccination, whose principle was to widen immune repertoire, was used as a curative treatment of chronic hepatitis B. It would be the therapeutic procedure with the lowest cost and the potentially greatest benefit. Our purpose was to enhance the interest of therapeutic vaccination in chronic hepatitis B in order to debate later its usefulness in developing countries.
