Abstract excerpt
In our previous study, uterine endometrial stromal sarcomas and atypical hyperplasias of the endometrial glands were induced in heterozygous p53 deficient mice (p53 (+/-) mice) of the CBA strain given a single dose of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). In order to clarify whether uterine tumors can be induced in transgenic mice carrying a human prototype c-Ha-ras gene (rasH2 mice) that are very susceptible to genotoxic...
