Abstract: The rtM204V/sl195M + rtV173L/sE164D mutations yielded an epitope-antibody profile similar to the rtR153Q/sG145R vaccine escape mutant.
Abstract: The rtM204V/sl195M mutation combined with the rtF166L/sF158Y or rtR153Q/sG14

Abstract: Test-systems based only on monoclonal antibodies did not detect HBsAg with G145R substitution in concentration 5 ng/ml.
Mutation spectra of the surface-protein-coding region of the HBV genome in HBV-vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals in Hungary.
Abstract: Pro127Thr and Thr118Ala were the most common substitutions, which occurred in 6 (10.5%) and 3 (5.3%) subjects, respectively; none had Gly145Arg.
Reactivation of an occult hepatitis B virus escape mutant in an anti-HBs positive, anti-HBc negative lymphoma patient.
Abstract: The virus exhibited three S gene mutations (L109R, C137W, G145R) which led to false negative HBsAg results and diminished binding of vaccine-induced anti-HBs.
"Molecular analysis of hepatitis B virus ""a"" determinant in asymptomatic and symptomatic Mexican carriers."
Discussion: The genotype prevalent in a population may determine the type of mutations prevalent in the infecting strains; for example, the immune-escape mutant G145R is closely associated with genotype D.
Discussion: The most relevant mutations seem to be the substitutions of amino acid G145R, K141E and T131I and insertion of 3 amino acids between residues 123 and 124, since they markedly affect the antigenic structure of HBsAg.
[Antigenicity of major hydrophilic region II of hepatitis B virus surface antigen].
Abstract: HepG2 cells were transfected with the four plasmids and a plasmid expressing G145R HBsAg.
Abstract: The immunoreactivity of the cells expressing mtHBsAg with P1120T, C121S, K122I, T123N and G145R were detected by immunofluorescence (IF) staining and ELISA with 4 antibodies and 7 HBsAg diagnostic kits respectively.
Long-term surveillance of haematopoietic stem cell recipients with resolved hepatitis B: high risk of viral reactivation even in a recipient with a vaccinated donor.
Abstract: Another surface mutant (P142L/G145R) was detected in a recipient from a non-immune donor.

Abstract: Point mutations leading to sT131I, sK141E, and sG145R amino-acid substitutions were engineered by site-directed mutagenesis into an infectious plasmid clone of the virus.
Abstract: The sT131I and sG145R variants replicated with efficiency equal to that of the wild type, whereas the sK141E variant was replication impaired.
