The role of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein in liver tumorigenesis is unresolved. Transgenic mice harboring the X gene (nt 1376-1840 under the control of t h e human a-I-antitrypsin regulatory elements) (ATX mice) display only minor histopathologic alterations of the liver. To determine if ATX
It has been postulated that tumor cells expressing Fas ligand (FasL) can evade immune surveillance by inducing apoptosis in T cells expressing Fas. In this study, we investigated FasL expression in 13 human hepatoma cell lines. Strong FasL expression was detected by reverse transcriptionpolymerase c
