Abstract excerpt
Introduction of a v-rasHa oncogene into cultured mouse keratinocytes by transduction with a defective retrovirus is sufficient to transform keratinocytes to the benign phenotype. Transduced keratinocytes overexpress TGF alpha and hyperproliferate in culture medium with 0.05 mM Ca2+. Whereas normal keratinocytes respond to elevated medium Ca2+ by cessation of proliferation and induction of terminal...
