Structural rearrangement of integrated hepatitis B virus DNA as well as cellular flanking DNA is present in chronically infected hepatic tissues
1 Feb 1990
Abstract excerpt
Cellular DNAs from human livers chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) were analyzed by Southern blot hybridization for the presence of integrated HBV DNA. In 15 of 16 chronically infected hepatic tissues, random HBV DNA integration was evident. By molecular cloning and structural analyses of 19 integrants from three chronically infected hepatic tissues, deletion of cellular flanking DNA in all cases...
