Abstract excerpt
The application of RNA interference (RNAi) to mammalian systems has the potential to revolutionize genetics and produce novel therapies. Here we investigate whether RNAi applied to a well-characterized gene can stably suppress gene expression in hematopoietic stem cells and produce detectable phenotypes in mice. Deletion of the Trp53 tumor suppressor gene greatly accelerates Myc-induced lymphomagenesis, resulting...
