Abstract excerpt
Mouse epidermal cells have frequently been used to study the role of ras oncogenes in transformation in vivo and in vitro. After initiation with dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) in vivo, greater than 90% of the papillomas arising show the same A:T----T:A transversion at codon 61 of the H-ras gene, p...
