Abstract excerpt
The DRH is an inbred rat strain established by selective mating of the 3'-Me-DAB resistant progeny of closed colony Donryu rats over 20 generations. Genetic analysis shows that two semidominant QTLs, Drh1 and Drh2, are responsible for strong resistance to chemical-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in DRH strain rats. To evaluate the effect of the single Drh1 locus on various stages of liver carcinogenesis, we...
