Abstract excerpt
We have successfully produced transgenic mice that carry the ret oncogene driven by a mouse mammary tumor virus promoter/enhancer. Mammary and salivary gland adenocarcinomas were developed in a stochastic fashion in these mice. Moreover, premalignant tumors with hyperplastic and dysplastic lesions of Harderian glands and male reproductive tracts frequently occurred at young ages. High expression of the transgene...
