Abstract excerpt
Prolactin is essential for proliferation and differentiation of the developing mammary gland. We have explored a role for Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 1 (SOCS1) as a modulator of the prolactin response using mice deficient in SOCS1, which were rescued from neonatal death by deletion of the Interferon gamma (IFN gamma) gene. SOCS1(-/-)/IFN gamma(-/-) mice exhibited accelerated lobuloalveolar development in the...
