Comprehensive evaluation of hepatitis B virus reverse transcriptase substitutions associated with entecavir resistance
7 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Virologic resistance emerging during entecavir (ETV) therapy for hepatitis B virus (HBV) requires three substitutions in the viral reverse transcriptase (RT), signifying a high barrier to resistance. Two of these substitutions are associated with lamivudine resistance (LVDr) in the tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate (YMDD) motif (rtM204V and rtL180M), whereas the other occurs at one or more...
