Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) carries a risk of HBV transmission and hepatocellular carcinoma. With limited sample size, the characteristics of OBI with genotype B or C (OBIB and OBIC) mutations relating to anti-HBs elicited by vaccination or limited host immune response to HBV have not been fully explored.
METHODS:
Occurrence of OBIB or OBIC strains associating with envelope protein (pre-S/S) amino acid substitutions from 99 blood donors stratified according to anti-HBs carriage were extensively characterized.
RESULTS:
According to anti-HBs presence within each genotype, the number or frequency of substitution sites specific from anti-HBs(-) OBIB was higher than those specific of anti-HBs(+) OBIB strains (67 vs 31; 117 vs 41), but the reverse pattern was in OBIC strains (3 vs 24; 3 vs 26). Mutations Pre-s1T68I and sQ129R/L were found uniquely in 15%-25% of anti-HBs(+) OBIB carriers, mutation Pre-s1A54E was found preferentially in anti-HBs(+) OBIC, while seventeen substitutions were found preferentially in 11%-38% of anti-HBs(-) OBIB strains. In the MHR region, mutations sS167 in OBIB, sT118 in OBIC, and sA166 in both genotypes were possibly immune-induced escape mutation sites.
CONCLUSION:
Several mutations in Pre-S/S of OBIs appeared associated with carrier's anti-HBs pressure, which might be risk factors for potential reactivation of viruses under anti-HBs selection in OBI carriers.
