1Abstract: Anti-
HBs binding to synthetic peptids (25-mers, 7aa overlap) from the ""a""-loop was significantly reduced by the
G145R substitution and by changing the amino acid sequence from adw(2) into adr."
Abstract: In a previous study we found that plasma-derived and recombinant DNA-derived vaccine
HBsAg reacted differently with monoclonal antibodies sensitive for the
G145R change.
Abstract: Recent reports on larger series of patients pointed that other mutations residing outside of the C domain but mainly in the B domain of the viral
polymerase (
L528M) could be associated with these mutations in the
YMDD motif.
Abstract: Sequence analysis of the
reverse transcriptase domain of resistant viral strains, at the time of viral breakthrough, revealed the occurrence of mutations located in the
YMDD motif within the C domain of the viral enzyme with a methionine to valine (
M552V) or to isoleucine (M5521) change.
Abstract: The lamivudine resistant mutants, selected in vivo, can be classified in 2 main groups: group I with a double mutation
L528M and
M552V, and group II with a single mutati
