The hepatitis B virus X gene induces p53-mediated programmed cell death
22 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
The human hepatitis B virus (HBV) protein pX is a multifunctional regulatory protein that is known to affect both transcription and cell growth. Here we describe induction of apoptosis in NIH 3T3 polyclonal cell lines upon stimulation of pX expression from a dexamethasone inducible mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-X expression vector. The effect of long-term pX expression on the cell survival of mouse fibroblasts...
