The X gene product of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been expressed transiently in HepG2 cells, and the 17-kilodalton protein has been detected by Western (immuno-) blot analysis. Cotransfection of the X gene with the long terminal repeat of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 or 2 results in a stimulation of long terminal repeat-directed expression that is higher than the X-induced stimulation of the HBV...
