Abstract excerpt
In this study, we used p53 transgenic mice to investigate whether mice carrying this germline mutation would be susceptible to tobacco smoke-induced lung tumorigenesis. We subjected male transgenic mice and their wild-type littermates to whole-body exposure to environmental cigarette smoke (ECS) for up to 9.5 months. K-ras gene expression was significantly increased, 28 days after ECS exposure, in the apparently...
