Abstract excerpt
The mutation of Apc is an important early genetic event in colon carcinogenesis. However, it remains to be clarified what kinds of cooperative genes are required for complete carcinogenesis. To identify cooperative genes for the Apc(Min) mutation the authors carried out retroviral insertional mutagenesis (RIM) using Min mouse-derived IMCE colon epithelial cells. Anchorage-independent transformed colonies were...
