Antiviral Resistance Testing Phenotypic Assays
IC50: Concentration of drug that inhibits 50% of viral replication Fold resistance: Ratio of the IC50s of the tested virus and the reference virus (wt)
Antiviral drug resistance in vitro can be described in terms of:
- HIGH (>100 fold increase in IC50)
- INTERMEDIATE (10-100 fold increase)
- LOW-LEVEL (2-9 fold increase)
WT L180M+A181T
Fold Resistance = Mutant IC50 WT IC50

Phenotypic Testing on Genotypic Resistance Mutation
- PCR-Cloning of HBV full genome /
sub-genome into pCH-9
- Confirm correct clones by sequencing
- Transfect into HuH7 cells, treat with
5 concentrations of LAM, ADF, ENT….
- Analyze HBV replication by Southern
blotting or selective qPCR
- Calculate replicative capacity, IC50
and fold resistance
pCH-9/200 (with clinical HBV insert)
Selective qPCR for Differentiating HBV Genomic rcDNA from Plasmids
Principle Efficiency
Clinical Examples: rtL180M+T184S+M204V and rtL180M+A181V mutant HBV
- Chronic hepatitis B, sequential treatment with LAM and ADF
- Secondary treatment failure to LAM and to ADF

Summary
HBV resistance testing is of increasing importance A phenotypic assay for large scale analysis in a
standardized fashion is needed
Plasmid constructs and a selective real-time PCR
based method for analysis were developed
First validation with clinical samples has started
