Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: To understand the mechanisms of emergence and selection of HBV polymerase variants, which may also harbor mutations in the overlapping envelope protein, we analyzed the in vitro virus production and infectivity of the main viral mutants resistant to lamivudine and adefovir. METHODS: HBV-resistant mutants (rtL180M+M204V, rtV173L+L180M+M204V, rtM204I, rtL180M+M204I, rtN236T, rtA181V,...
