Result: One (209-CW) displayed the double rtL180M-rtM204V lamivudine-resistance mutation and the other (043-N) showed an additional rtV173L mutation, which is also associated with lamivudine resistance (Table 2).
Table: V173L
Discussion: The frequent lamivudine-resistance rtL180M-rtM204V double mutation was detected in two isolates (043-N and 209-CW), while a third isolate (043-N) displayed a rare rtV173L-rtL180M-rt

Abstract: The triple-HBV mutant rtV173L + rtL180M + rtM204V, which has been shown to produce a diminished hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen-antibody binding, was found in 3 individuals, all coinfected with HIV and HBV.
Tenofovir for patients with lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and high HBV DNA level during adefovir therapy.
Abstract: Lamivudine-associated mutations (rtV173L, rtL180M, rtM204V/I) could be detected in 6 patients at baseline of TDF, but this obviously did not influence the response.
Selection of a multiple drug-resistant hepatitis B virus strain in a liver-transplanted patient.
Abstract: As viral load rose again, a single viral population was progressively selected, harboring the rtV173L+L180M+A181V+N236T and sP120S mutations.
Activity of adefovir dipivoxil against all patterns of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B viruses in patients.
Abstract: To investigate this in vitro, we generated novel stable cell lines expressing HBV encoding the four major patterns of lamivudine resistance mutations (rtL180M+rtM204V, rtV173L+rtL180M+rtM204V, rtM204I and rtL180M+ rtM204I).
In vitro susceptibility of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus to adefovir and tenofovir.
Abstract: At the ADV concentration of 0.1 microM, presence of the V173L mutation reduced the inhibition of HBsAg production from 50 to 30% (P<0.01) and the viral replication from 45 to 32% (P<0.01, Mann-Whitney).
Abstract: In a clinical study of ADV (Gilead 460i study), seven of the 35 patients carried HBV strains with the triple lamivudine resistance-associated amino-acid changes rtV173L/L180M/M204V at baseline.
Clinical emergence of entecavir-resistant hepatitis B virus requires additional substitutions in virus already resistant to Lamivudine.

Abstract: For liver transplant patient B (AI463015-B), previous famciclovir, ganciclovir, foscarnet, and 3TC therapies had failed, and RT changes rtS78S/T, rtV173L, rtL180M, rtT184S, and rtM204V were present at study entry.
Abstract: The 3TC(r) RT substitutions rtV173L, rtL180M, and rtM204V were present at study entry, and the additional substitutions
Prevalence and characterization of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus mutations in HIV-HBV co-infected individuals.
Abstract: Here we report the functional characterization of a third polymerase mutation (rtV173L) associated with resistance to lamivudine and famciclovir.
Abstract: In these patients, rtV173L was invariably found as a third mutation in conjunction with rtL180M and rtM204V.
Abstract: In vitro analyses indicated that rtV173L did not alter the sensitivity of wild-type or lamivudine-resistant HBV to lamivudine, penciclovir, or adefovir but instead enhanced viral replication efficiency.
