Abstract excerpt
Rats of the inbred BD strains strongly differ in their susceptibility to the induction of tumors of the central (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (EtNU). Malignant schwannomas induced in (BDIX x BDIV) and (BDIX x BDVI) rat hybrids were analyzed to identify genetic alterations associated with EtNU-induced tumorigenesis in the PNS. EtNU-induced schwannomas exclusively exhibit an A:T...
