Abstract excerpt
LEC (Long-Evans with a cinnamon-like coat color) rats develop hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) spontaneously. We examined mutations of codons 12, 13, and 61 of the Ha-ras, Ki-ras, and N-ras genes in four HCCs by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-single-stranded DNA direct sequencing method. No ras gene mutations were observed, suggesting that ras activation is not involved in spontaneous hepatocarcinogenesis in...
