Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice were developed to study the role of c-src in epithelial tumorigenesis through targeted expression of a constitutively active form of murine c-src (src(529)). Src(529) was targeted to the interfollicular epidermis with the human keratin 1 (HK1) promoter. The skin phenotype of these mice was characterized by exaggerated epidermal hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis within the first week after birth. The...
