title: Biological and molecular characterization of an endogenous retrovirus present in CHO/HBs-A Chinese hamster cell line.
abstract: The aim of this study was to search for and determine by virological and molecular approaches whether an endogenous retrovirus is present and expressed in a particular Chinese hamster cell line, where a Hepatitis B genomic fragment, encoding the HBs antigen was incorporated.
