Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection resulting in integration of the viral DNA into host liver cell DNA is associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This is indicated by epidemiological trends, molecular studies and studies of animal models infected with viruses closely related to HBv. However, little is known about the mechanism by which the integrated HBV DNA includes HCC despite continuing analysis of the integrated HBV DNA and its surrounding cellular sequences.
