"Restoration of replication phenotype of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus mutants by compensatory changes in the ""fingers"" subdomain of the viral polymerase selected as a consequence of mutations in the overlapping S gene."
Abstract: In contrast, the HBV a determinant HBIg/vaccine escape mutants sP120T, sT123N, sG145R, and sD144E/G145R (that produce rtT128N, Q130P, rtW153Q, and rtG153E respectively) yielded as much virus as wild-type HBV while the sM133L (rtY141S) mutant was replication i
Recombinant HBsAg of the Wild-Type and the G145R Escape Mutant, included in the New Multivalent Vaccine against Hepatitis B Virus, Dramatically Differ in their Effects on Leukocytes from Healthy Donors In Vitro.
Abstract: As all of them were seronegative for HBsAg/antiHBc, the presence of G145R mutant in the PBL signaled possibility of spread of the vaccine escape mutant virus by blood transfusion, unsafe injection practices or through sexual root.
Abstract: The study not only establishes the persistence of surface mutant G145R HBV DNA, within the PBL of HBsAg negative individuals from the non-vaccinated random population, but also suggests possible horizontal transmission of the mutant among the family members although none of the family members has received immunoprophylaxis against HBV or had clinically apparent disease or any other known risk factors of HBV infection.
Abstract: This indicates the presence of established vaccine escape mutant of the virus ( PMID: 11264736

Abstract: One child had a double mutation (P142S and G145R) and the other a G145A substitution.
Abstract: Three of seven anti-HBc positive Chinese blood donors had a T131I substitution, whilst the interferon-treated patient had a treble amino acid substitution (P142S, G145R and N146D).
Vaccine- and hepatitis B immune globulin-induced escape mutations of hepatitis B virus surface antigen.
Abstract: Notably, HBsAg with an arginine replacement for glycine at amino acid 145 is considered the quintessential immune escape mutant because it has been isolated consistently in clinical samples of HBIg-treated individuals and vaccinated infants of chronically infected mothers.
Anti-HBs after hepatitis B immunization with plasma-derived and recombinant DNA-derived vaccines: binding to mutant HBsAg.
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: The G145R mutant of the small S-protein is a major escape mutant of hepatitis B virus observed in natural infection, after immunization and HBIG therapy.
Abstract: With mutant G145R rHBsAg the inhibitory activity of vaccine anti-HBs was decreased compared to PMID: 11410701

1Abstract: We present for the first time in Korea the independent emergence of an escape mutant with substitution of arginine for glycine at amino acid 145 and proline for glutamate at amino acid 120 in ""a"" determinant after immunization."
A dominant hepatitis B virus population defective in virus secretion because of several S-gene mutations from a patient with fulminant hepatitis.
Abstract: This was caused by a combination of amino acid changes in the S-protein including the mutation G145R frequently emerging after hyperimmunoglobulin treatment.
Localization of hepatitis B surface antigen epitopes present on variants and specifically recognised by anti-hepatitis B surface antigen monoclonal antibodies.
1Abstract: These changes involved 11 positions inside and 5 outside of the historical first and second loops of the ""a"" determinant, and included the following: Q101K, T115A, K122N, T123A, T126N, Q129N, G130R, T131I, M133T, F134L, C138Y, K141E, P142S, G145R, N146S, and C147F/R."
"Effect of variation in the common ""a"" determinant on the antigenicity of hepatitis B surface antigen."
Abstract: The results suggest that amino acid substitution of T131I, K141E and G145R and insertion of 3 amino acids between residues 123 and 124 markedly affect the antigenic structure of HBsAg.
