Abstract excerpt
In the present study we used a HeLa whole cell extract transcription system to map the transcription start sites and the minimal promoter of the hepatitis B virus core gene. Two initiation sites located at residues 1792 +/- 5 and 1817 +/- 5 were identified. The minimal upstream region essential a...
