Abstract excerpt
The erbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases is frequently implicated in neoplasia. Amplification and overexpression of erbB2/neu has been found in 20 to 40% of human breast cancers. Previous studies using MMTV/c-neu transgenic mice have linked rat neu overexpression to mammary tumor development. In this study, we provide evidence that rat neu overexpression in mammary tumors of MMTV/c-neu transgenic mice is...
