摘要
A new model is proposed for the involvement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in human liver cancer at the molecular level. The HBV X protein interacts with a cellular protein involved in DNA repair. Coupled with the effects of long-term chronic infection by HBV, this model suggests a novel mechanism for human tumor viruses that act indirectly.
