Abstract excerpt
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) overexpressed from a heterologous promoter drives the tumorigenic transformation of NIH 3T3 cells and provides a model to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms. These transformed cells, designated NODC cells, exhibit elevated levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase (Tyr-k) activity relative to control transfected cells and inhibition of EGFR Tyr-k...
