Abstract excerpt
Car-R (carcinogenesis-resistant) and Car-S (carcinogenesis-susceptible) outbred mice, obtained by phenotypic selection from an initial intercross of eight inbred strains, show a >100-fold difference in their susceptibility to two-stage skin tumorigenesis. We found that the lines carry a high degree of genetic polymorphism. with an average heterozygosity of 0.39. This polymorphism allowed the use of linkage...
