The human hepatitis B virus enhancer requires trans-acting cellular factor(s) for activity.

ABSTRACT

The activity of the hepatitis B viral enhancer element was studied in various cell lines. This enhancer shows strict host and tissue specificity in that it is functional only in liver cells of human origin. Further, it requires trans-acting factor(s) present in liver cells for activity, and this activity is independent of hepatitis B virus gene products in the cell lines tested.
