L-(-)2',3'-Dideoxythiacytidine (L(-)SddC, Lamivudine) resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) develops in patients after prolonged treatment. Point mutations detected in the viral genome from these patients have been shown to be responsible for L(-)SddC resistance. Therefore, new drugs active against L(-)SddC resistant HBV are needed. Using a transient transfection system, we studied the sensitivity of L(-)SddC...
