Abstract excerpt
We examined mutational activation of H- and K-ras genes in hyperplastic nodules and hepatocellular carcinomas induced by N-nitroso-N-methylurea or diethylnitrosamine using the polymerase chain reaction, followed by dot-blot hybridization. No mutational activation was detected in these hepatic lesions. The results indicate that low incidence of the activation of H- and K-ras genes in rat liver tumors is due to the...
