HBx protein is indispensable for development of viraemia in human hepatocyte chimeric mice
10 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
The non-structural X protein, HBx, of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is assumed to play an important role in HBV replication. Woodchuck hepatitis virus X protein is indispensable for virus replication, but the duck hepatitis B virus X protein is not.
