Abstract excerpt
Previous studies on (BNxF344)F1 (BFF1) rat model of genetic predisposition to hepatocarcinogenesis led to the identification, in BFF1xF344 backcross progeny, of two hepatocarcinogenesis susceptibility (Hcs) and three resistance (Hcr) loci affecting the progression of neoplastic liver nodules. To evaluate the presence of other hepatocarcinogenesis-related loci in the BFF1 genome, nodule induction by resistant...
