Abstract excerpt
We previously defined quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that control susceptibility to 7,12-dimethylbenz(alpha)anthracene-induced mammary carcinoma in SPRD-Cu3 (susceptible) and WKY (resistant) rats. Two of these QTLs, assigned to chromosomes (Chr) 10 and 18, control tumor growth rate and invasiveness. In this study we characterized a congenic strain in which a large segment of WKY Chr 10 was introduced in the...
