Abstract excerpt
Although the tumorigenic phenotype can be transferred by transfecting DNA from a variety of human tumours into 3T3 mouse fibroblasts, the ability to transfer the metastatic phenotype in a similar manner in syngeneic animals is largely unknown. We now report that transfection of a rat mammary epithelial cell line Rama 37, which produces nonmetastasizing adenomatous tumours in syngeneic rats, with DNA from a...
