Abstract: | A hypothesis is presented which suggests that hepatitis B DNA in the Dane particles is only a partial viral genome which becomes integrated into the hepatocyte cellular DNA. The Dane particle DNA must enter a liver cell containing an active e gene, in order to become functional. It is suggested that the partial genome of hepatitis B virus is released from the cellular DNA by the mechanism of “escaping genes”. |
