Abstract excerpt
Lung tumor susceptibility in inbred mouse strains is caused by the susceptibility allele at the pulmonary adenoma susceptibility 1 (Pas1(s)) locus. However, after urethane treatment, most strains carrying the Pas1(s) allele show an intermediate (1-4 tumors/mouse) instead of a highly susceptible (15-30 tumors/mouse) lung tumor phenotype. To test the hypothesis that strains displaying the intermediate lung tumor...
