Abstract Phenotypic assays of hepatitis B virus (HBV) play an important role in research related to the problem of drug resistance that emerges during long-term nucleot(s)ide therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Most of the phenotypic assay systems that are available currently rely on the transfection of recombinant replication-competent HBV DNA into hepatoma cell lines. Cloning clinical HBV isolates using conventional digestion-and-ligation techniques to generate replication-competent recombinants can be very difficult because of the sequence heterogeneity and unique structure of the HBV genome. In this study, a new strategy for constructing an HBV 1.1x recombinant was developed. The core of this strategy is the ""fragment substitution reaction"" (FSR). FSR allows PCR fragments to be cloned without digestion or ligation, providing a new tool for cloning fragments or genomes amplified from serum HBV DNA, and therefore making the assay of HBV phenotypes more convenient. Using this strategy, a phenotypic assay was performed on an HBV strain carrying an rtS246T variant isolated from a patient with chronic hepatitis B that was only responsive partially to entecavir therapy. The results indicated that this strain is sensitive to entecavir in vitro.

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.
