Abstract excerpt
Activation of the ras oncogene was investigated in esophageal tumors induced by methylbenzylnitrosamine (MBN) in the Sprague-Dawley rat. DNA was extracted from grossly visible carcinogen-induced tumors. H-ras and K-ras gene sequences were then amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. Point mutations in the ras genes were then identified by selective hybridization to allele-specific oligonucleotide probes. A...
