Abstract excerpt
The inbred BD rat strains constitute a model system for analysis of the genetic basis of susceptibility or resistance to the development of neural tumors, as they exhibit distinct strain-specific differences regarding the sensitivity to tumor induction by the alkylating carcinogen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (EtNU). Among the different BD strains, BDIX and BDIV rats, respectively, are either highly susceptible or...
