Regulation of hepatitis B virus gene expression by its two enhancers.
1 Apr 1992
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes acute and chronic hepatitis and is closely associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. The principal site of HBV infection is liver, and HBV actively replicates in hepatocytes. Two regions of the HBV genome have been shown previously to display properties of a transcriptional enhancer.
