Abstract excerpt
Cisplatin (cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum (II)) acts as a tumor initiator in the mouse skin model of carcinogenesis. DNA transfection studies suggested that skin tumors initiated by cisplatin contained dominant transforming activity. Since the Harvey-ras (H-ras) gene is known to be activated by point mutations in chemically initiated mouse skin tumors, we used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct DNA...
