Abstract excerpt
The biological effects of expression of mutant ras at different stages of human uroepithelial cell (HUC) tumorigenesis were tested after transfection of EJ/ras into nonestablished HUC and three isogeneic cell lines representing different steps in HUC transformation in vitro. Transfection with EJ/ras failed to immortalize diploid HUC and also failed to cause tumorigenic conversion of a near-diploid...
