Transforming genes from familial adenomatous polyposis patient cells detected by a tumorigenicity assay.

Abstract excerpt

We tried to detect oncogenes associated with familial adenomatous polyposis by a tumorigenicity assay in nude mice. One polyp and two peripheral blood lymphocyte DNAs out of 12 samples from patients induced Alu-positive tumors. Lymphocyte DNAs from one of 5 healthy people also showed tumorigenic activity. The transforming genes of polyps from a patient and lymphocytes from a normal person were found to be the...
