Abstract excerpt
To investigate mechanisms underlying accelerated carcinogenesis in mice carrying a human prototype c-Ha-ras gene (rasH2 mouse), mutations and the expression profile of the transgene were evaluated in 14 tumors induced by a single injection of ethylnitrosourea (ENU), with or without additional beta-estradiol 3-benzoate (EB) treatment. Although no codon 12 mutations were detected, changes in codon 61 were evident...
