Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Written informed consent
* HBsAg-positive candidates for HBV-related liver transplant
* Treatment with antiviral therapy before transplantation as per treating physician's recommendation. (NOTE: It is expected that most patients will receive Lamivudine or Adefovir Dipivoxil pre-transplant. In the case of antiviral resistance, an effective alternative antiviral agent(s) must be used.)

Exclusion Criteria

* Multi-organ transplantation recipients
* Liver re-transplantation except for primary non-function
* Presence of a hepatoma (larger than 5.0 cm as a solitary node) or 2 to 3 multi-focal nodes (larger than 3.0 cm each) (Milan Criteria) based on information available at baseline visit (CT scan, MRI).
* Patients requiring an OLT (Orthotopic Liver Transplant)due to fulminant hepatitis B
* OLT patients receiving a liver graft from a donor that is positive for HBsAg
* Patients using interferon pre-transplant (as interferon cannot be used post-transplant)
* History of IgA (immunoglobulin A) deficiency
* History of hypersensitivity to blood products.
* HIV or HCV positive
* Use of an investigational product, or participation in another clinical trial during the course of the study (with the exception of quality-of-life or repository studies)
* Pregnancy or planned pregnancy during the course of the study
