Abstract excerpt
Several tumorigenic (benign and malignant) clones have been raised from the human epidermal cell line HaCaT after transfection with the c-Ha-ras oncogene (val 12) (P. Boukamp et al., Cancer Res., 50: 2840-2847, 1990). In culture, these HaCaT-ras clones expressed epidermal differentiation markers, such as keratins K1 and 10, at high density or upon depletion of retinoic acid. Accordingly, as HaCaT cells, the...
