Abstract excerpt
Inbred strains of mouse show various susceptibilities to spontaneous and chemical-induced lung tumorigenesis. Genetic analyses have revealed that lung tumor susceptibilities of inbred mouse strains are governed by quantitative trait loci (QLTs) located on multiple chromosomes. A major lung tumor resistance QLT, designated pulmonary adenoma resistance 2 (Par2), was mapped to the mouse chromosome 18 independently...
