Abstract excerpt
We previously characterized a genetically engineered mouse astrocytoma model with embryonic astrocyte-specific, activated (12)V-Ha-RAS (GFAP-RAS) transgenesis. The GFAP-RAS line Ras-B8 appears normal at birth, but 50% of mice die by 4 months from low- and high-grade astrocytomas. We examined the development and progression of astrocytomas in the Ras-B8 genetically engineered mouse. At embryonic day 16.5 (E16.5),...
