Genomic DNA double-strand breaks are targets for hepadnaviral DNA integration
16 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Integrated hepadnaviral DNA in livers and tumors of chronic hepatitis B patients has been reported for many years. In this study, we investigated whether hepatitis B virus DNA integration occurs preferentially at sites of cell DNA damage. A single I-SceI homing endonuclease recognition site was introduced into the DNA of the chicken hepatoma cell line LMH by stable DNA transfection, and double-strand breaks were...
