The Nature of the Heterozygous Trp53 Knockout Model for Identifi cation of Mutagenic Carcinogens
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
The heterozygous Trp53 null allele C57BL/6 (N5) mouse is susceptible to the rapid development of neoplasia by mutagenic carcinogens relative to control strains. This mouse model of chemical carcinogenesis demonstrates 1) dose-related rapid induction of tumors (26 wks), 2) multiple sites of carcinogen-specific tissue susceptibility, and 3) carcinogen-induced loss of heterozygosity involving the Trp53 wild-type...
