Abstract excerpt
Rat strains differ in their susceptibilities to mammary carcinogenesis. Strains such as Wistar-Furth are very susceptible to chemically induced carcinogenesis. This phenotype is controlled by autosomally dominant susceptibility genes. Strains such as the Copenhagen are resistant to spontaneous and induced mammary carcinogenesis. This phenotype is controlled by an autosomal dominant gene termed the mammary...
