Abstract excerpt
The bovine keratin 6 gene promoter was used to target expression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) to epidermal keratinocytes in the hair follicle of transgenic mice. K6-SSAT transgenic mice appeared to be phenotypically normal and were indistinguishable from normal littermates until subjected to a two-stage tumorigenesis protocol. For such tumorigenesis studies, mice were bred for six...
