Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice carrying oncogenes present a useful model with which to assess the tissue-specific action of oncogenes. These mice are usually predisposed to a specific type of neoplastic growth. The tumors that arise are usually monoclonal in origin and become only apparent after a variable latency period, suggesting that additional events are required for tumor formation. Identification of these additional...
