Abstract excerpt
Environmental and genetic factors are important both in affecting life span and neoplastic transformation. We have shown previously that mice, which are homozygous for full-length breast cancer-associated gene-1 (Brca1) deletion and heterozygous for a p53-null mutation (Brca1(Delta11/Delta11)p53(+/-)), display premature aging and high frequency of spontaneous lymphoma and mammary tumor formation. To investigate...
