Abstract excerpt
Amplification and overexpression of erbB-2/neu is an important determinant in the initiation and progression of human breast cancer. Indeed, transgenic mice that over-express the neu proto-oncogene heritably develop mammary adenocarcinomas. Tumorigenesis in these transgenic strains is associated with activation of the intrinsic catalytic activity of Neu. In many of these tumors, activation of Neu occurs as a...
