Abstract: Proven sites of mutation of HBV DNA polymerase in naive patients were, for example, L80I, L180M, A181V/T, M204I and V207I.

Abstract: CONCLUSIONS: The PCR-LDR assay can sensitively and specifically detect the rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations, and may be used for monitoring ADV resistance in patients infected with HBV.
Abstract: We developed a sensitive and specific method for detecting the rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations associated with ADV resistance in chronic hepatitis B patients, based on a ligase detection reaction (LDR).
Two types of drug-resistant hepatitis B viral strains emerging alternately and their susceptibility to combination therapy with entecavir and adefovir.
Abstract: At that time, rtA181T was undetectable and the virus with rtM204V and rtL180M became predominant.
Abstract: Combination therapy with ETV and ADV might have been effective because these drugs share therapeutic roles, that is, ETV affects the rtA181T-related virus and ADV affects the rtM204V-related virus.
Abstract: Efficacy of subsequent combination therapy with ADV and 3TC was limited because of reappearance of the virus with rtA181T, which might confer cross-resistance to 3TC and ADV.
Abstract: Initial 3TC monotherapy offered little benefit an
[Dissection of mechanism for the adefovir dipivoxil resistance in chronic hepatitis B patients].
Abstract: RESULTS: During 3TC and ADV therapy, 11 patients had rtM204V/I mutations, 2 had rtA181V/T or rtN236T, 7 had both and 2 had no 3TC- or ADV-related mutations.
Abstract: Relative abundances of rtM204V/I mutations in total viral populations gradually increased under ETV rescue, whereas those with rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations decreased.
New approaches in the management of chronic hepatitis B: role of tenofovir.
Method: In vitro studies, however, show that both rtN236T and rtA181V/T HBV mutants remain sensitive to TDF, and are only associated with small decreases in susceptibility.
Tenofovir monotherapy is effective in hepatitis B patients with antiviral treatment failure to adefovir in the absence of adefovir-resistant mutations.
Abstract: Among patients with suboptimal virologic response, rtA181T, rtI233V, and rtN236T were present on clonal analysis in 3 patients.
Hepatitis B virus rtA181T/sW172non-stop mutation may increase resistance fold to adefovir- and entecavir-resistant mutants compared to rtA181T/sW172* mutation.
Abstract: In cell culture, the rtA181T/V mutation induced a decreased susceptibility to lamivudine (<10-fold), adefovir (2- to 8-fold) and tenofovir (2- to 3-fold).
Abstract: In this study, we characterized the main variants harboring the rtA181T/V mutation isolated from 10 consecutive patients who developed lamivudine and/or adefovir resistance.
Abstract: Interestingly, the association of rtA181T with rtN236T on one clinical isolate genome increased the resistance to these three drugs.
Abstract: RESULTS: Clonal analysis revealed the co-localization on the same HBV genome of rtA181T/V with
Low risk of adefovir resistance in lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B patients treated with adefovir plus lamivudine combination therapy: two-year follow-up.
Abstract: At the beginning of ADV therapy, substitutions at rtA181 (rtA181T and rtA181S) were identified in 3 patients (2.3%).
Abstract: In the remaining 129 patients, the rtM204 mutants were identified at baseline, and two (1.6%) of the 129 patients developed new ADV-resistant mutants; one was rtA181S and another was rtA181T plus rtN236T mutation.
Hepatitis B virus rtA181T/sW172non-stop mutation may increase resistance fold to adefovir- and entecavir-resistant mutants compared to rtA181T/sW172* mutation.
Abstract: CONCLUSION: The rtA181T/sW172* variant has a secretory defect and exerts a dominant negative effect on wild-type HBV virion secretion.
Abstract: Examination of sequential HBV DNA levels in patients failing lamivudine or adefovir therapy where only the rtA181T change was detected via polymerase chain reaction sequencing revealed that viral load rebound did not occur or was not as large as usually observed with drug-resistant HBV.
Abstract: In vitro analysis revealed that the rtA181T/sW172* variant is not only defective in secretion of viral particles causing intracellular retention of surface
