The aim of this study is to investigate the role of immunosenescence in the HBV vaccination response in patients with renal insufficiency.
The risk of infection with hepatitis B during exposure to blood is high (30% against 1.8% for Hepatitis C Virus and HIV 1%) and dialysis patients are a population at risk. Vaccination against this virus, which is very effective in the general population (vaccine response: 90 to 95%), is highly recommended in dialysis patients. However, numerous studies have shown that HBV vaccination was less effective in patients with chronic renal disease than in the general population. The reasons for low vaccine response are poorly understood. However, recent data suggest that renal failure could induce accelerated immunosenescence. The aging of the immune system, or immunosenescence, is a complex and profound phenomenon of the immune system during life. The gradual reduction of the generation of naive T cells in the thymus is the major cause of immunosenescence. But this process is also associated with an accumulation of lymphocytes at the end of differentiation. In this context, the decrease in vaccine response and increased infections in renal insufficiency might be correlated, as in the elderly population, with the aging of the immune system. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of immunosenescence in the HBV vaccination response in patients with renal insufficiency. Vaccination against HBV is not performed for the purposes of the study, but due to the existing vaccine indication for the subject. Included patients receive vaccination as routine care according to the recommendations and the vaccination schedule recommended by the Health Authority.

A blood sample of 35 ml is achieved at 1 month to evaluate the anti-HBV cell response. Two other blood samples of 10 ml are scheduled 3 and 6 months after vaccination to assess humoral response to HBV vaccination.

Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 8+ CD 57+ CD 28- / CD 8+ T lymphocytes Ratio in Peripheral Blood
The primary outcome is assessed 1 month after the vaccination schedule. The percentage of CD 8+ and CD 8+ CD 28- CD 57+ lymphocytes were determined by flow cytometry.
Time frame: 13 months
Calculated Creatinine Clearance (Cockcroft-Gault Equation)
Creatinine clearance calculated using Cockcroft-Gault equation and adjusted for body surface area. Calculated Creatinine Clearance: method to approximate kidney function. It measures rate creatinine (substance formed from metabolism of creatine) is cleared from blood by kidneys.
Time frame: 13 months
Interferon gamma and Interleukin-10 production of Peripheral blood T lymphocytes
Analysis of cytokine production is assessed by flow cytometry after stimulation of lymphocytes T.
Time frame: 13 months
Percentage of Lymphocytes subpopulations in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
Different lymphocyte subpopulations will be quantified by flow cytometry using the following antibodies: CD 3, CD 4, CD 8, CD 19, CD 25, CD 27, CD 28, CD 31, CD 45RO, CD 45RA, CD 56, CD 62L, Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4, Programmed cell death protein 1, CD 38, CD 127, Forkhead box P3.
Time frame: 13 months
T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)
TREC study used a technique of quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction performed on DNA extracted from PBMC.
Time frame: 13 months
