The Thompson submachine gun is an American submachine gun that became infamous during the Prohibition era. It was a common sight of the time, being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals. The Thompson was also known as: the "Tommy Gun", the "Trench Broom", the "Chicago Piano", the "Chicago Typewriter", and the "Chopper".
The Thompson was favored by soldiers and civilians alike for its compactness, large .45 ACP cartridge, and high volume of automatic fire.
History and service
A Marine fires on a Japanese position using an M1A1 Thompson submachine gun during an advance on Okinawa in 1945.The Thompson Submachine Gun was designed by General John T. Thompson, who was inspired by the trench warfare of World War I to develop a "one-man, hand-held machine gun", firing a rifle caliber round. While searching for a way to allow such a weapon to operate safely, Thompson came across a patent issued to John Bell Blish. Thompson found a financial backer, Thomas Fortune Ryan, and started the Auto-Ordnance Corporation in 1916 for the purpose of developing his weapon. The principal designers were Theodore H. Eickhoff, Oscar V. Payne, and George E. Goll. By late 1917, the limits of the Blish lock were discovered, and it had been found that the only cartridge currently in U.S. service suitable for use with the lock was the .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol). The project was then titled "Annihilator I", and by 1918, most of the design issues had been resolved. However, the war ended before prototypes could be shipped to Europe.
At an Auto-Ordnance board meeting in 1919 to discuss the marketing of the "Annihilator", with the war over, the weapon was officially renamed the "Thompson Submachine Gun". While other weapons had been developed shortly prior with similar objectives in mind, the Thompson was the first weapon to be labeled and marketed as a "submachine gun".Thompson intended the weapon as an automatic 'trench-broom' to sweep enemy troops from the trenches, filling a role the BAR had proved incapable of.[8] Coincidentally, this concept was adopted by German troops using their own submachine guns in concert with sturmtruppen tactics.
The Thompson first entered production as the M1921. It was available to civilians, though its high price resulted in few sales. M1921 Thompsons were first sold in small quantities to the U.S. Post Office (to protect the mail from a spate of robberies), followed by several police departments in the United States and minor international sales to various armies and constabulary forces, chiefly in Central and South America. The U.S. Post Office also gave Thompsons to the U.S. Marine Corps in 1922 when Marines were assigned to protect against mail robberies,[11] with the Marines putting them to use in the Banana Wars and in China.[12] It was popular with the Marines as a point-defense weapon for countering ambush by Sandinista guerrillas and led to the organisation of 4 man fire teams with as much firepower as a 9 man rifle squad. The major complaints against the Thompson were its weight, inaccuracy at ranges over 50 yards, and its lack of penetrating power, despite the powerful .45 cal ACP round it used.
Thompsons were also acquired by the Irish Republican Army from supporters in the U.S. and were used in the latter stages of the Irish War of Independence and Civil War.
A lance corporal of the East Surrey Regiment, British Army equipped with a Thompson M1928 submachine gun (drum magazine), 25 November 1940 Thompson Drum MagazineThe Thompson achieved most of its early notoriety in the hands of Prohibition and Depression-era gangsters and in Hollywood films, most notably in the St Valentine's Day Massacre. It was often referred to as the "gun that made the twenties roar."
Nationalist China also acquired a quantity for use against Japanese land forces, and eventually began producing copies of the Thompson in small quantities for use by its various armies and militias.
In 1938, the Thompson submachine gun was adopted by the U.S. military, serving during World War II and later into the Korean War, as well as early stages of the Vietnam War. Other Allied countries purchased the Thompson as well, notably the United Kingdom and France. Modifications to simplify production and reduce cost were made in 1942, resulting in the M1 and M1A1 models, which were commonly carried by both non-commissioned and commissioned officers.
There were two military types of Thompson SMG. The M1928A1 had provisions for box magazines or drums (the drum magazines were disliked because of their tendency to rattle). It had cooling fins on the barrel, and its charging handle was on the top of the receiver. The M1 and M1A1 had a plain barrel without cooling fins, a simplified rear sight, provisions only for box magazines, and the charging handle was on the side of the receiver. Because the option to use drums was not included in the M1 and M1A1, the 30 round box magazine was designed for use with this model.
The Thompson was used in World War II in the hands of Allied troops as a weapon for scouts, non-commissioned officers, and patrol leaders. In the European theater, the gun was widely utilized in British and Canadian Commando units, as well as U.S. paratrooper and Ranger battalions who used it widely because of its high rate of fire, its stopping power and because it was very effective in close combat. A Swedish variant of the M1928A1, called Kulsprutepistol (literally "bullet spray pistol") m/40 (technically "Submachine Gun m/40"), served in the Swedish Army between 1940 and 1951. Through Lend-Lease, the Soviet Union also used the Thompson, but due to a lack of appropriate ammunition, this practice was not widespread.
In the Pacific Theater, Australian Army infantry and other Commonwealth forces initially used the Thompson extensively in jungle patrols and ambushes, where it was prized for its firepower, though its hefty weight of over 10 pounds and difficulties in supply eventually led to its replacement by other submachine guns such as the Owen and Austen. The U.S. Marines also used the Thompson as a limited-issue weapon, especially during their later island assaults. The Thompson was soon found to have limited effect in heavy jungle cover, where the low-velocity .45 bullet would not penetrate most small-diameter trees, Japanese helmets, or protective armor vests (in 1923, the Army had rejected the .45 Remington-Thompson, which had twice the energy of the .45ACP).[16] In the U.S. Army, many Pacific War jungle patrols were originally equipped with Thompsons in the early phases of the New Guinea and Guadalcanal campaigns, but soon began employing the BAR in its place, especially at front (point) and rear (tail) positions, as a point defense weapon.
By the end of 1944, the Thompson had been replaced in production by the M3 and M3A1 and by the time of the Korean War, the Thompson had been withdrawn from service as a standard-issue submachine gun with U.S. forces. It was replaced by the M3/M3A1 submachine gun, and the M1/M2 carbine. Many Thompsons were distributed to Chinese armed forces as military aid before the fall of Chiang Kai-Shek's government to Mao Zedong's Communist forces in 1949. During the Korean War, American troops were surprised to encounter Chinese Communist troops heavily armed with Thompsons, especially during surprise night assaults. The gun's ability to deliver large quantities of short-range automatic assault fire proved very useful in both defense and assault during the early part of the conflict. Many of these weapons were recaptured and placed back into service with American soldiers and Marines for the balance of the war.
Serb[citation needed] paramilitaries during the Siege of Sarajevo. An M1A1 Thompson submachine gun is being held in the backgroundDuring the Vietnam War, some South Vietnamese army units and defense militia were armed with Thompson submachine guns, and a few of these weapons were used by reconnaissance units, advisors, and other American troops. It was later replaced by the M16. Not only did some U.S. soldiers have use of them in Vietnam, but they encountered it as well. The Vietcong liked the weapon, and used both captured models as well as manufacturing their own copies in small jungle workshops.
The Thompson was also used by U.S. and overseas law enforcement and police forces, most prominently by the FBI. The FBI used Thompsons until 1976, when it was declared obsolete. All Thompsons in U.S. government possession were destroyed, except for a few token museum pieces and training models.
The Thompson, or copies of the gun, are still seen from time to time in modern day conflicts, such as the Bosnian War.
Operating characteristics
Early versions of the Thompson had a fairly high rate of fire, approaching 800-850 rounds per minute. Later M1 and M1A1 Thompsons averaged 600 rpm.[18] This rate of fire, combined with a rather heavy trigger pull and a stock with excessive drop, increases the tendency of the gun to climb off target in automatic fire.[18][19] Compared to modern 9mm submachine guns, the .45 Thompson is quite heavy. This was one of the major complaints against the weapon made by servicemembers of militaries that issued the Thompson. The gun climb likely contributed to its inaccuracy at ranges over 50 yards, another complaint against the weapon.
While the drum magazine provided significant firepower, in military service it was found to be overly heavy and bulky, especially when slung on patrol or on the march. For this reason, the 20-round and later 30-round box magazines soon proved most popular with military users, and drum compatibility was eliminated from the wartime M1 and M1A1 models. The Thompson was one of the earliest submachine guns to incorporate a double-column, double-feed box magazine design, which undoubtedly contributed to the gun's reputation for reliability. In addition, the gun performed better than most after exposure to rain, dirt, and mud.
Because of its gangster-era and World War II connections, Thompsons are highly sought as collector's items. An original Model 1928 in working condition can easily fetch US$20,000 or more. Semi-automatic versions are currently produced by Auto-Ordnance Company, a division of Kahr Arms. Approximately 1,700,000 of these weapons were produced by Auto-Ordnance, Savage Arms, and Colt, with 1,387,134 being the simplified World War II M1 and M1A1 variants (without the Blish lock and oiling system).
[edit] Persuader and Annihilator There were two main experimental models of the Thompson. The Persuader was a belt-fed version developed in 1918, and the Annihilator was fed from a 20 or 30-round box magazine, which was an improved model developed in 1918 and 1919. Additionally, the 50- and 100-round drum magazines were developed.
Model of 1919
The M1919 was limited to about 40 units, with many variations noted throughout. The weapons had very high cyclic rates around 1,500 rpm.[21] This was the weapon Brigadier General Thompson demonstrated at Camp Perry in 1920. Almost all M1919s were made without buttstocks and front sights, and the final version closely resembled the later Model 1921. The New York City Police Department was the largest purchaser of the M1919. This model was designed as an automatic Colt .45 to "sweep" trenches with bullets. Some experimental calibers were .45ACP (11.4x23mm), .22LR, .32 ACP, .38 ACP, and 9mmP.
Model of 1921
The "Anti-Bandit Gun": 1920s ad of the Thompson M1921 for United States law enforcement forcesM1921 was the first major production model. Fifteen thousand were produced by Colt for Auto-Ordnance. In its original design, it was finished more like a sporting weapon, with a blued, finned barrel and vertical foregrip and the Blish lock. The M1921 was quite expensive to manufacture, with the original retail cost around $225, because of its high quality wood furniture and finely-machined parts. The M1921 was famous throughout its career with police and criminals and in motion pictures. The weapon had a relatively high 800+ rpm[citation needed] rate of fire.
Model of 1923
Firing 1928 ThompsonThe M1923 was introduced to potentially expand the Auto-Ordnance product line and was demonstrated for the U.S. Army. It fired the .45 Remington-Thompson cartridge from a 14-inch (35.5 cm) barrel, with greater range and power than the .45 ACP. It introduced a horizontal forearm, sling, bipod and bayonet lug. The M1923 was intended to fill the role of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), but the Army was satisfied with the BAR and did not give the M1923 much consideration, so it was not adopted.
BSA Thompsons
In an attempt to expand interest and sales overseas, Auto-Ordnance partnered with and licensed Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) in England to produce a European model. These were produced in small quantities and have a different appearance than the classic style. The BSA 1926 was manufactured in 9 mm and 7.63 Mauser calibre and were tested by various governments, including France in the mid 1920s. It was never adopted by any military force, and only a small number were produced.
Model of 1927
The M1927 was the semi-automatic-only version of the M1921. It was made by modifying an existing M1921, including replacing certain parts. The "Thompson Submachine Gun" inscription was machined over to replace it with "Thompson Semi-Automatic Carbine", and the "M1921" inscription was also machined over to replace it with "M1927." Although the M1927 was semi-automatic only, it was easily converted to fully automatic by utilizing a M1921 receiver, and is classified as a machine gun under the National Firearms Act of 1934.
Model of 1928
The M1928 was the first type widely used by military forces, with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps as major buyers through the 1930s. The original M1928s were M1921s with weight added to the actuator, which slowed down the cyclic rate of fire, a U.S. Navy requirement. With the start of World War II, major contracts from Britain and France saved the manufacturer from bankruptcy.
M1928A1 at Fort Knox, Kentucky, June 1942The M1928A1 variant entered mass production before the attack on Pearl Harbor, as on-hand stocks ran out. Changes included a horizontal forend, in place of the distinctive vertical foregrip ("pistol grip"), and a provision for a military sling. Despite new U.S. contracts for Lend-Lease shipments abroad to China, France, and the United Kingdom, as well as the needs of American armed forces, only two factories supplied M1928A1 Thompsons during the early years of World War II. The weapon was mostly used in the U.S. military by the Marine units in the Pacific Theater. Though it could use both the 50-round drum and the 20- or 30-round box magazines, active service showed the drums were more prone to jamming and extremely heavy and bulky, especially on long patrols. 562,511 were made. Wartime production variants had a fixed rear sight with out the triangular sight guard wings and a non-ribbed barrel both like that found on the M1/M1A1.
In addition, the Soviet Union received M1928A1s, included as standard equipment with the M3 light tanks obtained through Lend-Lease. The weapons were never issued to the Red Army, however, because of a lack of .45 ACP ammunition on the Eastern Front, and were simply put in storage. As of September 2006, limited numbers of these weapons have been re-imported from Russia to the United States as disassembled "spare parts kits", the entire weapon less the receiver (as required by Federal law).
Fire Controls M1 Thompson Front lever is selector switch set for full auto.Answering the call for further simplfication, the M1 was standardized in April 1942 as the United States Submachine Gun, Cal. .45, M1. Rate of fire was reduced to approximately 600-700 rpm. First issued in 1943, the M1 utilized a simple blowback operation, the charging handle was moved to the side, and the flip-up adjustable rear sight replaced with a fixed aperture (peep sight). Wartime production variants omitted the triangular rear sight guard wings. The slots adjoining the magazine well allowing use of the drum magazine were removed. The less expensive and more-easily manufactured "stick" magazines were used exclusively in the M1, with a new 30-round version joining the familiar 20-round type. The Cutts compensator, barrel cooling fins, and Blish lock were omitted while the buttstock was permanently affixed.
Both sides of the Thompson M1A1The M1A1, formally adopted as the United States Submachine Gun, Cal. .45, M1A1, could be produced in half the time of the M1928A1, and at a much lower cost. The multi-piece firing pin of the M1 was supplanted by a simplified firing pin machined into the face of the bolt. The 30-round magazine became more common. In 1939, Thompsons cost the government $209 apiece. By the spring of 1942, cost reduction design changes had brought this down to $70. In February 1944, the M1A1 reached a low price of $45 each, including accessories and spare parts. By the end of 1944, the M1A1 was replaced with the even lower-cost M3 (commonly called "Grease Gun").
Model 1927A1
The M1927A1 is a semi-automatic only version of the Thompson, originally produced by Auto-Ordnance (West Hurley, New York) for the civilian gun market from 1974 to 1999. It is officially known as the "Thompson Semi-Automatic Carbine, Model of 1927A1." The internal design is completely different and operates from the closed bolt, hence is legal for civilian ownership in the United States without a special license. It has been produced since 1999 by Kahr Arms of Worcester, Massachusetts. This weapon should not be confused with the earlier M1927 produced by Colt for Auto-Ordnance, although its name and designation references the earlier weapon.
Model 1927A3
The M1927A3 is a semi-automatic, .22 caliber version of the Thompson produced by Auto-Ordnance in West Hurley.
Model 1927A5
The M1927A5 is a semi-automatic pistol version, .45ACP version of the Thompson originally produced by Auto-Ordnance in West Hurley. It featured an aluminum receiver to reduce weight. It has been produced since 2008 by Kahr Arms of Worcester, Massachusetts as the "M1927A1 TA5".

Civilian ownership
United States
Because of the perceived popularity of submachine guns such as the Thompson with gangsters in the 1920s and 1930s, the United States Congress passed the National Firearms Act in 1934. Among its provisions, all owners of any fully-automatic firearm were required to register them with the predecessor agency of the modern Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The law also placed severe restrictions on the possession, transfer and transport of the weapons.
There are several U.S. made semi-automatic variants. These are less regulated at the federal level but are still banned in several states because of their resemblance to the fully-automatic version.
Thompson submachine guns (including all variants or modified versions) are classified as Prohibited Weapons in Canada. Consequently, they cannot be legally imported or owned except under very limited circumstances.

UA to offer Legal Issues in Animal Agriculture courseApril 5, 2012
Contact Information:
Elizabeth Rumley, National Agricultural Law Center
(479) 387-2331, email@example.com
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — "Legal Issues in Animal Agriculture" will be offered as a new course in the first summer session at the University of Arkansas, animal science department head Mike Looper said. The six-week session begins May 21.
"The course will focus on legal issues involved in the production of poultry, swine and livestock and may be of interest to some farmers and other professional people," Looper said. Information on enrolling in the course is available from the U of A Admissions office, 479-575-5346.
Elizabeth Rumley, a staff attorney at the National Agricultural Law Center, will teach the course, which is for both undergraduate and graduate students.
Rumley's focus at the center is on the legal issues in animal agriculture. She conducts workshops and has written articles on the different topics within that focus. An index of articles is available on the National Agricultural Law Center Web site at http://www.nationalaglawcenter.org/.
Animal agriculture legal issues include laws, regulations and policy arguments on animal confinement, antibiotic use, humane slaughter, veterinary medicine and "right to farm" laws, Rumley said.
Right to farm laws apply to disputes over perceived nuisances arising from agricultural operations. Such lawsuits are not uncommon in areas of urban sprawl when subdivisions are built in rural areas and affect animal agriculture predominately because of the noise and smells inherent in livestock and poultry production, Rumley said.

Paula Grossman purchased this condo in 2012
My family of 4 stayed here for 6 weeks while we searched and bought our new home. The location was perfect! Walk to the beach, access to a pool and four beautifully decorated bedrooms was a perfect fit for us. Owner was gracious and easy going - we needed to boost the internet for my WFH hubby and owner obliged. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and dishes making cooking for the family a breeze. Loved the deck - we ate out at the picnic table and watched the sunset set almost every night! With four bathrooms and a big living room, we never fought for space. The little touches were great - a shopping cart to bring up bags, a fun game on the porch that even my 4yo could enjoy!, take out menus from local joints and washer and dryer in the unit. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay by the beach!
We had a family vacation at Sandy Toes and Salty Kisses and enjoyed our stay. The condo looked just as beautiful as the pictures. Paula was great to work with and did everything she promised. It's delightful to work with someone so honest and caring. It's a great place to stay and enjoy a week at the beach.
This was our fifth time to OIB and the third different Islander Villa in which we have stayed. The condo was very nice. It is close to the beach. The condo was clean and well-maintained. Paula was great to work with and was very attentive to our questions and requests. The only thing we would have preferred would have been more rocking chairs on the balcony/deck. The picnic table wasn't as functional for us, and only having 2 rockers made it difficult for everyone to be able to sit and relax on the condo. Again, though, this place was very nice.
We have had a family vacation at Sandy Toes and Salty Kisses twice and each week has been wonderful. The condo is beautifully decorated and well equipped. Lots of room for my family to stretch out too. It's close to the beach and safe for my toddler granddaughter. We loved going into the little town for ice cream and found a nice deli there too. Paula gave us a recommendation for a company that delivers and sets up beach furniture. This service was great. We didn't have to lug chairs and umbrellas to and from the beach. When we had a daughter that was unable to walk on the sand due to knee surgery Paula recommended we contact the police dept to borrow a wheel chair that was made for the sand. Paula has been very thoughtful and we feel like we are renting from a friend. We have beautiful memories of our family's stay at Sandy Toes and Salty. Kisses!!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Sandy Toes and Salty Kisses. Paula was wonderful to work with. She answered all of our questions in a very timely manner. The description and photos of the condo were very accurate. It was beautifully decorated, clean and well maintained. The fully equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare meals with ease. The walk to the beach was short, even for our kids ages 1, 4 and 6. The condo was a perfect match for our family. We hope to return with friends and family next year.
After spending many vacations at the Jersey shore, last summer we decided to give Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina a try. We heard it was beautiful, but I must admit I was a bit skeptical because we are so attached to "our shore". However, from the minute we arrived we were memorized. The pristine beaches of Ocean Isle Beach left us breathless and the location of this villa in the Islander Resort (named Sandy Toes and Salty Kisses) was fabulous! The villa was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is fully equipped and every utensil provided. All the bedrooms are spacious and each have their own bath so you never have to worry about waiting to shower. The great room has a comfortable leather sectional with recliners. The villa has it's own laundry room which was an invaluable asset.The wet bar was such an added plus! From the moment we walked in we felt like it was home since it was so clean and has every amenity of home. It was simply magnificent. We contacted the owners to ask a question about the secure WIFI and they were available and very helpful. The Islander Beach Club also has a pool and hot tub. There is also a restaurant at the pool serves lunch & dinner, which was so convenient and even has a Tiki bar! Our week at Sandy Toes and Salty Kisses exceeded every expectation. We will be going down again this summer, and we can't wait for another week to remember!

Mutations associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) resistance to lamivudine have not been extensively addressed in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-HBV coinfection. We have studied the HBV polymerase sequences from nine coinfected patients who experienced HBV recurrence while under lamivudine treatment. In seven of these nine patients, Met550, belonging to the highly conserved YMDD motif, was mutated to Val and was associated with a substitution of Met for Leu526 in each case. In the two remaining patients, we found a Met550-to-Ile change that was associated in only one case with a Leu526-to-Met mutation. No mutation was observed in three control patients not receiving lamivudine. This study demonstrates the emergence of particular genetic profiles in HBV-HIV-coinfected patients experiencing a loss of control of HBV infection despite high doses of lamivudine.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) share the same routes of transmission. Chronic infection with HBV affects about 5% of the population worldwide and as many as 20% of patients infected with HIV (14). The nucleoside analog lamivudine (2′,3′-dideoxy-3′-thiacytidine) has been shown to be very efficient in reducing both HIV and HBV replication by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme (5, 16). HIV resistance to lamivudine occurs rapidly within the first months of treatment and mostly involves mutations in the conserved YMDD motif of the reverse transcriptase of the virus (18, 19). Recent studies of patients treated with lamivudine for chronic hepatitis or post liver transplantation have suggested that mutations of the HBV polymerase could also confer resistance to this drug (1, 4, 6, 11, 13, 17). However, these HBV polymerase mutations have not been described in HIV-HBV-coinfected patients. These patients usually receive several antiviral drugs, and some of them may have impaired immune functions. To investigate the HBV mutations possibly associated with lamivudine resistance in HIV-HBV-coinfected patients, we studied the nucleotide sequence of the HBV polymerase gene from patients receiving lamivudine as part of their HIV infection treatment.
Patients belonged to a cohort of 226 HIV-seropositive and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive subjects monitored by the Liver Disease Department of our institution. All of these patients have had at least four visits per year for clinical examinations, biological tests, CD4 measurements, HBV serological marker analysis, serum HBV DNA evaluation, and HIV viral load measurements. Sixty-six of them received lamivudine, 150 mg twice daily, as part of their antiretroviral therapy. The recommended lamivudine dosage for HBV therapy is currently 100 mg/day; however, these patients received 300 mg/day, as recommended for HIV infection. Nine of these 66 HIV-HBV-coinfected patients were retrospectively selected on the basis of HBV replication recurrence during therapy and the availability of serum samples at the time of interest. Replication recurrence or breakthrough was defined as an initial drop in viral replication after initiation of therapy, leading to an undetectable HBV DNA level (threshold, 2.5 pg/ml), followed by a subsequent increase while therapy was maintained. Three patients who were not treated with lamivudine and whose serum had persistent high levels of HBV DNA (more than 2,000 pg/ml) served as controls. These 12 patients were homosexual men with a mean age of 36 (range, 31 to 47) years.
CD4 lymphocytes were counted by dual-color flow cytometry. HIV antibodies were detected with both Sanofi Pasteur Diagnostics Genescreen HIV1/2 and Abbott HIV 1/2 Recombigen 3+. HIV loads were assessed by using a Roche Monitor reverse transcription-PCR kit (Roche, Neuilly, France). The detection threshold of the test is 200 RNA copies/ml. HBV serological markers were determined by using Axsym (HBsAg, core antibody, hepatitis B e antigen [HBeAg], and hepatitis B e antibody [HBeAb]) Abbott tests (Abbott, Les Ulis, France) in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. HBV DNA levels in serum were assessed by Digene Hybrid Capture test (Murex, Châtillon, France). The range of detection was 2.5 to 2,000 pg/ml.
For each patient, two serum samples were studied, one at the beginning of lamivudine treatment and one at breakthrough. For the three control patients, two sera were also studied at 9-month intervals. After viral DNA purification (QIAamp blood kit; Qiagen) starting from 200 μl of each serum, we amplified a 667-nucleotide fragment by using primers VT366 (5′-TGGTTATCGCTGGATGTGTC) and VT1015 (5′-CCCAAAAGACCCACAATTC). Sequencing of the purified PCR products was conducted on a Vistra DNA sequencer by using two inner primers labeled with Texas red at the 5′ end (VT462R [5′-TATGTTGCCCGTTTGTCCTC] and VT842R [5′-AGGGTTC/TAAATGTATACCC]). These two sets of conserved primers located in the polymerase gene have been designed from a consensus sequence generated from published HBV gene sequences and accessible from GenBank. Analysis of the sequences was accomplished with Geneworks software (Intelligenetics, Oxford, United Kingdom). There are a variety of amino acid numbering systems for HBV; we decided to use that of Pillay et al. (15).
The nine selected patients undergoing lamivudine therapy had their treatment started in association with another nucleoside analog, either zidovudine (n = 5) or stavudine (n = 4). None of them was receiving an HIV protease inhibitor at the time of initiation of therapy. At breakthrough, six patients were receiving a protease inhibitor, either indinavir (n = 3), ritonavir (n = 2), or nelfinavir (n = 1), in association with lamivudine and another nucleoside analog, either zidovudine (n = 2) or stavudine (n = 4). Median HIV loads, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in serum, CD4 lymphocyte counts, serological HBV markers, and HBV DNA levels in serum are summarized in Table Table1.1. All patients but one were HBeAg positive and HBeAb negative throughout the study. Interestingly, patient 8, who had HBeAbs at the beginning of lamivudine treatment, was found to be HBeAg positive at breakthrough. In the sera of all patients but patient 2, HBV DNA was undetectable after 2 months of lamivudine therapy and HBV replication recurrence, suggesting the emergence of resistance, occurred after a mean delay of 17 (range, 4 to 33) months (Fig. (Fig.1).1). At the time of initiation of therapy, the sequences of the HBV polymerase gene were identical to those previously published for the wild-type virus (Fig. (Fig.1).1). When viral resistance emerged, HBV DNA sequence analysis revealed mutations mostly at position 550 of the polymerase, where a methionine was replaced with a valine (n = 7 of 9) or an isoleucine (n = 2 of 9) (Fig. (Fig.1).1). HBV 550M→V or 550M→I mutations were associated with an L→M substitution at position 526 in eight of nine cases. Only one patient (no. 9) had a unique mutation at position 550 (M→I) without any substitution at position 526. As expected, for the three patients not receiving lamivudine, sequences were similar to those of the wild-type virus throughout the study (data not shown).
As already described in healthy and immunocompromised transplant patients, HIV-HBV-coinfected patients may develop HBV resistance to lamivudine. In HIV-uninfected individuals, HBV mutations associated with lamivudine resistance have been found in patients receiving 100 mg of lamivudine per day (1, 4, 6, 9, 11). However, in HIV-HBV-coinfected patients, a higher daily dose of lamivudine (300 mg daily) did not appear to prevent the emergence of these mutations. In our study, HBV resistance to lamivudine occurred after a mean period of 17 (95% confidence interval, 9.8 to 24.2) months and was always associated with mutations in the YMDD motif. It is noteworthy that a more recent study in this laboratory of the whole cohort of HIV-HBV-infected patients (n = 226) indicates that after 2 years of treatment, 50% of patients develop lamivudine-resistant HBV strains (unpublished data). As previously described, HBV resistance to lamivudine develops much more slowly than that of HIV (16). The observed mutations are analogous to that found in lamivudine-resistant HIV strains, where M184 of the HIV reverse transcriptase is replaced with either Val or Ile. However, in contrast to the mutations of HIV reverse transcriptase associated with lamivudine resistance, which were described as single mutations, HBV 550M→V or 550M→I mutations are associated with an L→M substitution at position 526 in eight of nine cases. The 550M→V substitution associated with 526L→M has been commonly described. In our study, the mutation 550M→I was also detected; in one case it was a single mutation, and in the other it was associated with 526L→M. The mutation 550M→I could correspond, as it has been reported for HIV, to transient variants which will eventually evolve toward more fit species with the 550M→V-526L→M double mutation (3). These findings may also indicate the selection of progressive conformational rearrangements of the polymerase toward more replication-efficient resistant strains under drug pressure. In vitro studies assessing replication efficiency in the presence of 3TC are necessary to confirm this hypothesis. It is noteworthy that the replication level of YMDD-mutated strains usually increases slowly after breakthrough and only sometimes reaches the pretreatment level. However, many parameters may influence HBV replication, especially in coinfected patients. Although a larger study is needed to strengthen our findings, CD4 counts did not seem to correlate with the occurrence of breakthrough, nor did the HIV level of replication.
Other mutations, particularly at position 519, have been described in non-HIV-infected patients; however, none of these mutations was found in the nine patients studied here (1, 4, 8, 11, 15). Interestingly, although most of these HIV-infected patients were treated for several months with other nucleoside analogs, none showed particular mutations in the HBV polymerase catalytic site before lamivudine introduction. These findings agree with the absence of activity against HBV of the other nucleoside analogs and therefore confirm the absence of HBV resistance selection by these molecules. Although we studied only three patients not treated with lamivudine, it is highly unlikely that the mutations found were solely due to a high level of replication over time. Indeed, most of the patients have been chronic HBV carriers for several years and polymerase sequences before lamivudine therapy were found analogous to that of the wild type. Furthermore, several in vitro studies have clearly shown that mutations occurring within the polymerase B and C domains can confer resistance to lamivudine (2, 4, 7, 10, 12, 20).
It is of note that although underlying liver disease could not be precisely evaluated due to the lack of liver biopsies, the low level of ALT in serum at breakthrough indicates a low activity of HBV hepatitis in the context of lamivudine resistance and might suggest impaired replication of the virus.
In summary, in HIV-HBV-coinfected patients, treatment with high daily doses of lamivudine does not prevent the emergence of HBV-resistant strains carrying mutations within the polymerase B and C domains. These mutations also confer resistance to other nucleoside analogs (10). Hence, the selection of lamivudine-resistant HBV mutants raises concern about the future of hepatitis B management in both HIV-infected and non-HIV-infected persons.

World Touring Car Championship leader Jose Maria Lopez set the fastest time in Friday afternoon's test ahead of this weekend's fifth round of the series at the Salzburgring.
The Citroen racer's effort of 1m23.101s was 2.6 seconds inside team-mate Yvan Muller's 2013 qualifying lap record, set in a S2000 spec' Chevrolet Cruze.
Campos Chevrolet driver Hugo Valente ended just 0.027s adrift of Lopez's benchmark to repeat his Slovakia-Ring test and practice session position.
Top honours among the four-car Honda contingent fell to Mehdi Bennani in third. The Proteam driver, who has been sidelined from qualifying in the two previous meetings owing to turbo-related issues, edged out reigning WTCC champion Muller by 0.031s.
The test was red-flagged with a little over three minutes of its scheduled half-hour remaining, when Tom Coronel and Gabriele Tarquini parked up on the back straight.
Earlier in his lap, Coronel had gone straight at the Turn 1 chicane after suffering a punctured front tyre. Tarquini stopped his factory JAS Honda directly behind Coronel's ROAL Cruze, before opening his bonnet to investigate a possible power-steering failure.
The subsequent abandonment of the session secured Lopez's position at the top of the timing screens.
The former TC2000 champion had deposed Bennani at the head of the classification at the two-third mark. The initial pace was set by Muller, thanks to a strong lap of 1m23.281s from cold.
Tarquini's team-mate Tiago Monteiro ended the day fifth, ahead of nine-time World Rally champion Sebastien Loeb.
Hungaroring reversed-grid winner Gianni Morbidelli was the fastest runner in the second sector en route to seventh.
The session took place under overcast skies, and rain is forecast prior to qualifying on Saturday afternoon.

Goal.com cartoonist Omar Momani lifts the lid on the secret to the 38-year-old Inter captain's success after a sublime Derby della Madonnina display
At the end of the game, it wasn't a 22-year-old Brazilian everyone was talking about. It was a 38-year-old Argentine who made the headlines.
Zanetti embarrassed players half his age with a self-defining display of running, dedication and class, setting up Diego Milito's 54th minute winner with a ball that eluded Ignazio Abate.
In an age where many players go down complaining of cramp, the Inter captain is a man who has been playing for over two decades, but looks ready to go for another two more.
Who would bet against him playing well on into his 40s with an engine like his?
|So that's why they call him the tractor!

Enterprise Learning
Enterprise is fundamental to the continued economic success of this country
At THS we take enterprise very seriously, every student is entitled to 5 days worth of enterprise activities. With our main business partners, Heathcoat fabrics, Ashfords Solicitors and EDF Energy we have developed a range of activities to stimulate and encourage enterprise capabilities within our students.
For this year we have the following activities planned; some of these are new for this year and some of them are projects we have successfully run before.
- Preparation for work day. This day is open to all Year 11 students and goes through the process of how to find the right job and then how to get it. With support from our business partners, Heathcoats, EDF-energy and Ashfords and from local colleges Petroc and Exeter college the day comprises a series of workshops that de-mystifies the process of getting a job. From making a telephone enquiry to successful interview techniques, this day covers it all.
- The English Apprentice. Run over a period of weeks this project focuses on the key skills of marketing and presentation and contributes to the speaking and listening component of the English GCSE. Run by our English department with support from our business partners this project culminates with a student presentation to the rest of the year group.
- Investigating a Crime scene. New for this year this project is a collaboration between our science department and Petroc. Concentrating on the science behind forensic investigation and contributing towards the Level 2 BTEC Applied Science qualification as well as the Level 3 course offered at Petroc. All BTEC students at Tiverton High School have a two hour taster session at Petroc, learning techniques such as blood typing, titration and chromatography.
- Another new project for this year will see the maths department involved in an energy based project working in partnership with EDF energy.
- Fair trade. Following the success of a small scale project last year we will be extending this project so the majority of students get to be involved with "fair trade fortnight", looking at some of the moral implications of business and enterprise.
- Make your mark challenge. This is a national competition and will be open to about 40 year 10 students. THS has had considerable success in the past and we will be looking to make good progress this year as well.
