Abstract excerpt
We have established a transgenic rat line carrying three copies of the human c-Ha-ras proto-oncogene with its own original promoter region, Jcl/SD-TgN(HrasGen)128Ncc (Hras128) rat. c-Ha-ras protein from expression of transduced and endogenous c-Ha-ras genes could be detected in the bladder epithelium of untreated transgenic rats. To examine their susceptibility to N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine...
