Characterization of Novel Hepatitis B Virus PreS/S-Gene Mutations in a Patient with Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection.
Result: In one case, A159G and R160K amino acid changes were found, and in the other, I68T amino acid substitution was observed.

Abstract: DNA immunization in BALB/c mice revealed that wtHBsAg and vtHBsAg with T123N and K160N are able to induce antibodies to HBsAg (anti-HBs), whereas
Abstract: Detection of HBsAg by ELISA and immunofluorescence staining indicated that variant HBsAg (vtHBsAg) with K122I was not recognized by HBsAg immunoassays, while vtHBsAg with T123N, A159G, K160N and A159G/K160N had reduced antigenicity.
"Molecular analysis of hepatitis B virus ""a"" determinant in asymptomatic and symptomatic Mexican carriers."
Result: T113S, S114T, R122K, I126T and P127L were the most frequent in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients; whereas A159G, R160K, F161Y and V168A were more frequent in symptomatic patients.
