Conclusion: In conclusion, antigenic index analysis and de novo prediction of tertiary conformation of the three HBsAg variants (T123A, M133L, and T143M) found in Indonesian blood donor samples with undetectable HBsAg revealed that T143M substitution altered the antigenicity most significantly compared to the other two mutation patterns and the other known variants.
Result: The pattern T143M, on the other hand, besides showing differentially-oriented side chain of Met, also sho

Occult hepatitis B in blood donors in Indonesia: altered antigenicity of the hepatitis B virus surface protein.
Abstract: Seven of the viremic samples had nucleotide substitutions (A521G, A551T, C582T, and A562G) in the S gene, causing amino acid mutations (T123A, M133L, and T143M) in the 'a' determinant of HBsAg that resulted in changes in the predicted antigenicity.

Abstract: However, the presence of two single variations, T143M in genotype A, and T125M in genotype D, produced a decrease of 44% and an increase of 34%, respectively, on HBsAg mean values in comparison with their consensus forms.
Abstract: However, unique amino acid substitutions not linked to genotypes, such as T125M and T143M described here, should have more implications in HBV immunological diagnostics than the set of variations characteristic of each HBV genotype.

Abstract: A128V & T143M mutations were observed in 5 of 13 (38.4%) subjects and A128V & P127S in 2 of 13 (15.3%) patients (P = 0.385).
Abstract: A128V mutation was seen in two (15.3%) subjects with D2 genotype, while T143M mutation was seen in three (23.07%) subjects with A1genotype.

Abstract: Analysis of primary nucleotide sequence revealed serologically meaningful mutations in S-gene of HBV in all 9 isolates: 3 of them contained substitution mutation G145R, 5--S143L, and one--T143M.
Abstract: Prevalence of HBsAg mutations in HBV carriers with high level of HBsAg was assessed for the first time: prevalence of G145R, S143L/T143M mutations, and all serologically atypical variants was 0.12%, 0.24%, and 0.76% respectively.
Transmission of G145R mutant of HBV to an unrelated contact.
Abstract: Mutant G145R along with T118V and T143M was identified in three subjects who included one 1 degrees, one 2 degrees, and one 3 degrees contact.
Abstract: Presence of T118V and T143M mutations along with G145R mutation in these subjects provides an indirect evidence for the possible horizontal transmission of G145R HBV variant to a 3 degrees unrelated contact.
