Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The susceptibility of male p53 nullizygote (-/-), heterozygote (+/-), and wild-type (+/+) mice to 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) induction of colon carcinogenesis was investigated. METHODS: In a preliminary short-term experiment, male mice of three genotypes were given s.c. of 20 mg/kg DMH once weekly for 5 weeks. In a medium-term experiment, mice were given weekly s.c. of DMH for 15 weeks. In a long-term...
