Induction of cell cycle progression by hepatitis B virus HBx gene expression in quiescent mouse fibroblasts.
1 Jul 1994
Abstract excerpt
The HBx gene of hepatitis B virus has been shown to induce hepatic tumors in transgenic mice and is implicated in hepatocarcinogenesis in human hepatitis B virus infection. To further characterize the role of HBx gene in carcinogenesis, we established mouse fibroblast cell lines in which the expression of HBx gene could be controlled by glucocorticoid hormone and examined the effect of HBx gene expression on cell...
