A rat line carrying three copies of the human c-Ha-ras proto-oncogene, including its own promoter region, was established and designated Hras128.

To examine its influence on susceptibility to N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced mammary carcinogenesis, female rats were treated with 50 mg/kg MNU i.v. at 50...
