Abstract excerpt
We have used YAC (yeast artificial chromosome) technology to create large translocation regions where the c-myc proto-oncogene is coupled to the core region of the human immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus (from VH2-5 through to Cdelta). Chimeric mice were obtained from embryonic stem cells carrying a single copy of the 240-kb IgH/c-myc translocation region. B-cell tumorigenesis occurs in the translocus mice,...
