Amplification of the <i>neu/erbB-2</i> oncogene in a mouse model of mammary tumorigenesis
14 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
The neu (c-erbB-2, Her-2) protooncogene is amplified and overexpressed in 20-30% of human breast cancers. Although transgenic mouse models have illustrated the role of Neu in the induction of mammary tumors, Neu expression in these models is driven by a strong viral promoter of questionable relevance to the human disease. To ascertain whether expression of activated Neu under the control of the endogenous...
