Abstract excerpt
The presence of an activating mutation in the Ha-ras gene in hamster cheek pouch tumors induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) complete carcinogenesis was investigated. The normal sequence of a fragment of genomic DNA encompassing codon 61 of the Ha-ras gene was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction using primers designed for a highly conserved region of the mouse Ha-ras-1 gene. The sequence of the...
