Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to mammary cancer in rats is genetically controlled by both susceptibility and suppressor genes. The Copenhagen (COP) rat strain is highly resistant to both spontaneous and induced mammary carcinogenesis. The resistant trait is due to the inheritance of an autosomal dominant allele termed mammary carcinoma suppressor (mcs) gene. To test whether the activity of mcs gene can suppress the transforming...
