The hepatitis B virus (HBV) precore protein inhibits HBV replication in transgenic mice

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we examined the ability of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) precore, envelope, and X gene products to modulate HBV replication in the livers of transgenic mice that replicate the virus. Hepatic HBV replication was not affected by overexpression of the envelope or X gene products when these animals were crossed with transgenic mice that express the corresponding viral genes in the hepatocyte....
