Abstract excerpt
The induction of neural tumors by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (EtNU) in inbred strains of rats has evolved as a valuable model system of developmental stage- and cell type-dependent oncogenesis. Tumor yield and latency times are strongly influenced by genetic background. Compared with BDIX rats, BDIV rats are relatively resistant to the induction of brain tumors by EtNU, with a lower tumor incidence and latency periods...
