Abstract: Several mutations (V521L, P525L, L528M, T532S, and V555I) in the gene for hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase have been identified in HBV isolated from patients that displayed break-through viremia during famciclovir treatment.
Abstract: The V521L and L528M mutations showed moderately decreased sensitivity to PCVTP (K(i) increased by >3-fold).
Abstract: The lamivudine-resistant mutations M552I, M552V, and L528M+M552V, which were previously shown to display 8- to 25-fold resistance to LAMTP, were less resistant (< or = 3.1-fold) to PCVTP.
Mutational pattern of hepatitis B virus on sequential therapy with famciclovir and lamivudine in patients with hepatitis B virus reinfection occurring under HBIg immunoglobulin after liver transplantation.
Abstract: Our results indicate that the L528M mutation is a risk factor for LAM breakthrough, because breakthrough during LAM occurred earlier in patients with this mutation (50 +/- 10 weeks vs.
Abstract: With FCV, no unique, but a dominant, resistance pattern with the L528M mutation was identified for patients with breakthrough under FCV.
Fulminant hepatic failure resulting from lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus in a renal transplant recipient: durable response after orthotopic liver transplantation on adefovir dipivoxil and hepatitis B immune globulin.
Abstract: Sequencing of HBV polymerase gene from preliver transplantation sera did not detect the usual lamivudine resistance mutations in the YMDD motif but instead two other mutations (F514-->L, L528-->M).

Abstract: In this study, susceptibility of wild-type and lamivudine-resistant HBV M552I, M552V, and L528M/M552V mutants to other reverse transcriptase inhibitors was investigated by transient transfection of full-length HBV DNA into human hepatoma cells.
Transient emergence of hepatitis B variants in a patient with chronic hepatitis B resistant to lamivudine.
Abstract: RESULTS: Sequencing studies of HBV DNA at week 52 showed the emergence of a lamivudine-resistant variant associated with two point mutations in the hepatitis B virus polymerase gene: one mutation led to amino acid substitution of methionine to valine at residue 552, in the highly conserved tyrosine-methionineaspartate-aspartate motif, part of the active site of the polymerase; the second mutation consisted of a substitution of leucine to methionine at residue 528.

Abstract: Analysis of the HBV DNA polymerase gene from 8 chronic hepatitis B patients with suspected resistance to lamivudine showed that in addition to a mutation in the YM552DD motif, a second mutation located in the B domain of this gene, a Leu528-to-Met528 change, was consistently and exclusively found in 4 patients showing the YV552DD motif.
Identification and characterization of mutations in hepatitis B virus resistant to lamivudine. Lamivudine Clinical Investigation Group.
Abstract: HBV DNA from the sera of patients in Group I exhibits a substitution of valine for methionine at residue 552, accompanied by a substitution of methionine for leucine at residue 528.
Mutations in hepatitis B DNA polymerase associated with resistance to lamivudine do not confer resistance to adefovir in vitro.
Abstract: HBV DNA polymerase mutants M552I, M552V, and L528M/M552V showed resistance to lamivudine triphosphate with inhibition constants (Ki) increased by 8.0-fold, 19.6-fold, and 25.2-fold compared with that of wild-type HBV DNA polymerase.
Abstract: The L528M single mutation, identified in patients with increasing HBV DNA levels during therapy with famciclovir, also remained sensitive to adefovir diphosphate with the inhibition constant increased by only 2.3-fold.
