Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To elucidate the characteristics of radiation carcinogenesis, the spectra of K- and N-ras oncogene mutations, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and their association in X-ray-induced thymic lymphomas (TL) were determined by comparing with those of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced and spontaneously occurring TL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: TL that arose in untreated, X-ray-irradiated and ENU-treated B6C3F1 mice...
