Abstract excerpt
Regional specificity of lung tumor formation has rarely been studied in mouse or human. By using crosses of strains semi-congenic for lung cancer susceptibility locus Sluc20, we have analyzed the genetic influences of Sluc20 and 5 other loci on tumor regionality in the mouse lung. We have mapped Sluc20 to a 27.92-MB proximal region of chromosome 8 and found that it controls the number and load of only those...
