Hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutants resistant to treatment with nucleoside or nucleotide analogs and those with the ability to escape from HBV-neutralizing antibody have the potential to infect HBV-vaccinated individuals. To address this potential serious public health challenge, we tested the efficacy
This placebo controlled, double-blind study evaluated the efficacy and safety of lamivudine in patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative/hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA-positive chronic hepatitis B. Patients were randomized to receive 100 mg lamivudine orally once daily for 52 weeks (n ؍ 60
Precore defective HBV mutants may gradually prevail because of immune selection and explain spontaneous seroconversion from HBeAg to anti-HBe in HBV carriers. We have analyzed whether the presence of precore HBV mutants is a determinant of responsiveness to interferon-a therapy. Fifteen carriers (ni
A commercial radioimmunoassay was adapted to detect serum Dane particle-associated HBeAg in patients whose sera contained the homologous antibody. HBeAg was released from Dane particles with guanidine HC1. Dane particles were separated from anti-HBe by gel-filtration (Sepharose 4B) and ultracentrif
