Abstract The presence of a hepatitis B virus S gene mutant was investigated in a patient being treated with thymosin alpha1. He was seropositive for hepatitis B e antigen throughout therapy but was intermittently seronegative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) by an RIA. Sequence analysis revealed an S gene mutant in HBsAg-seronegative serum with two consecutive amino acid substitutions: threonine115-to-isoleucine and threonine116-to-asparagine, whereas no amino acid substitution or deletion was found in the pre-S region. A site-directed mutagenesis experiment confirmed that these mutations were responsible for the failure to detect HBsAg. In summary, an S gene mutant was identified in an HBsAg-seronegative patient. The mutations were located outside the putative ""a"" determinant. The emergence of an S gene mutant during thymosin alpha1 treatment suggests that enhanced host immunity against HBsAg may play a role in its antiviral activity.

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.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
  • Clinical Information: The study is a clinical or epidemiological study and provides basic information about the population.
  • Treatment: The study mentioned a certain treatment method, such as drug resistance caused by mutations. If the study does not specifically indicate the relationship between mutations and their correspondence treatment, the main treatment studied in the article is marked.
  • Location: The source of the research data.
