Abstract excerpt
The C57BL/6 x C3H F1 (hereafter called B6C3F1) mouse is an important animal model for long-term carcinogenesis studies. Maintained under normal laboratory conditions, these mice develop various types of spontaneous tumors during their lifetime. Activated Ha-ras genes have been detected in 66% of spontaneous hepatocellular tumors in the B6C3F1 mouse [Reynolds et al., Science (Washington DC), 237:1309, 1988]. In...
