Abstract The characterization of hepatitis B virus (HBV) quasispecies in different compartments in liver transplant (LT) recipients may be helpful in optimizing prophylaxis regimens. The aims of this study were to evaluate liver, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and plasma samples for HBV and to compare the quasispecies in hepatic and extrahepatic sites in LT recipients on long-term prophylaxis. For 12 patients followed for up to 15 years post-LT, liver, plasma, and PBMC samples [all HBV DNA-negative according to conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays] were evaluated for HBV DNA by a sensitive nested PCR method [covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) for liver and PBMC samples] and by the sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of polymerase quasispecies. For the 10 patients on prophylaxis with no clinical recurrence (median time post-LT = 15.5 months, range = 12-96 months), liver samples were HBV DNA-reactive in 9 of 10 cases, plasma samples were HBV DNA-reactive in 3 of 10 cases, and PBMC samples were HBV DNA-reactive in 2 of 7 cases (including 1 case with HBV cccDNA in PBMCs). The sequence analysis showed that all HBV clones had a wild-type (WT) sequence in the liver and PBMCs. In 2 patients with early HBV recurrence post-LT who were treated with nucleosides only, HBV DNA was detected in serum, PBMC, and liver samples, and HBV cccDNA was found in liver samples. An HBV lamivudine-resistant variant with an M204I mutation was identified in liver (70% and 18% of the clones) and plasma samples (100% of the clones), but a WT sequence was found in 70% and 100% of the PBMC clones. In conclusion, despite prophylaxis and the absence of HBV DNA in serum according to conventional assays, HBV is detectable in the serum, liver, and PBMCs of almost all patients, and this supports the use of continued anti-HBV therapy in this group. Antiviral drug-resistant variants are more frequent in the liver versus PBMCs, but both compartments are potential sources of reinfection.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
