Abstract excerpt
The efficiency of tumor induction by oncogenes is influenced by modifier genes that determine individual susceptibility. We have used a transgenic mouse model to examine the role of a candidate susceptibility gene, bcl-2, for development of Raf oncogene-induced lung adenomas. Loss of bcl-2 greatly retarded tumor development without affecting tumor phenotype. Tumor tissues from bcl-2 positive and negative mice...
