Analysis of clinical and virological factors associated with response to alpha interferon therapy in chronic hepatitis C.

abstract：:The X gene product of human hepatitis B virus, HBx, transactivates the expression of viral and cellular genes through a wide variety of cis elements, including the nuclear factor for IL-6 (NF-IL6) binding sites, although HBx does not appear to bind DNA directly. We previously reported that HBx transactivated the inter...
