Abstract excerpt
A rat line carrying three copies of the human c-Ha-ras proto-oncogenes, including its own promoter region, was established and designated as Hras128. Expression of the transgene was detected in all organs by Northern blot analysis. To examine its influence on susceptibility to mammary carcinogenesis, female rats were treated with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) or 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) at 50 days of...
