Abstract excerpt
We have been studying a rat model of colon cancer in which tumors are induced by direct application of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) to discrete areas of the colonic mucosa for a limited period of time. Activation of the ras genes by point mutation has been observed in many experimental tumors, including tumors induced by MNU. To detect potential activating point mutations in the H-ras and K-ras oncogenes in...
