T follicular helper (TFH) cells, a critical subset of CD4(+) T cells, provide help to B cells during the procession of the humoral immune response in the germinal center (GC) and extrafollicular sites. CXCR5(+)CD4(+) T cells in human circulating blood, referred to herein as peripheral TFH (pTFH) cells, share phenotypes and functional properties with TFH cells in GC. Hepatitis B vaccine protects about 60% of the chronic hepatitis C patients from hepatitis B. The immunological bases that lead to the induction of protective antibody response is not well understood. In the present study, the pTFH cells subsets were determined in 18 healthy controls (anti-HBs >= 100 mIU/mL; HC), 21 nonresponders (anti-HBs < 10 mIU/mL; NR), and 23 weak responders (10 mIU/mL
