Abstract excerpt
Various molecular changes characterizing organ-specific carcinogenesis have been identified in human tumors; however, the molecular mechanisms of the genomic changes specific for each cancer are not well defined. A transgenic (Tg) mouse model with constitutive expression of the nucleotide-editing enzyme, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), develops tumors in various organs as a result of the mutagenic...
