    Abstract:
    Tissues of human primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) from six patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) were propagated in nude mice, as well as a strain of hepatitis B surface antigen-positive PHC (PLC/PRF/5). Integration of viral DNA into chromosomal DNA of tumour cells was evaluated by the capacity to hybridize with radiolabelled DNA probes, each representing fundamental parts of the HBV genome, that is S and C genes and regions pre-S and X. All PHC cells possessed region X integrated in their chromosomes. However, integration of the S gene, C gene and region pre-S was found in only six of the seven PHCs. Based on these findings, the integration of region X seems to be most closely associated with carcinogenesis in HBV infection.
