Abstract excerpt
Aiming at a sequential analysis of the role of ras gene point mutations during intestinal carcinogenesis, we established an experimental rat tumour model using N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) as an initiating agent as this carcinogen has been found to induce rat mammary carcinomas with a high prevalence of ras gene mutations. MNU treatment of a total of 249 rats (25 or 50 mg/kg i.p.) in various combinations with...
