Abstract excerpt
The major risk factors for human liver cancer: hepatitis B virus (HBV) related liver injury, male gender, aflatoxin exposure, and p53 expression, are evaluated and compared in experimental transgenic mouse models. Transgenic mice that express hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in their liver and develop liver tumors at 18 months of age (HBV+ mice) were bred to p53 null mice (p53-/-) to produce mice p53+/-, HBV+...
