Abstract excerpt
Development of tongue carcinoma (TC) in rats by 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO), a potent carcinogen, is under host genetic control. The inbred Dark-Agouti (DA) strain rats showed a much higher susceptibility to TC than the Wistar-Furth (WF) strain. The author's previous study on crosses between two strains postulated a susceptibility gene in DA and a resistance gene in WF rats. This hypothesis was confirmed by...
