Abstract excerpt
Recent experimental evidence indicates that the c-Ha-ras (rasH) oncogene may be causally involved in the etiology and evolution of specific human neoplasms. In addition, cultured cells transformed by the rasH oncogene can induce both a tumorigenic and a metastatic phenotype when expressed in appropriate cultured cells. To begin to define the molecular and biochemical mechanism(s) by which the rasH oncogene induce...
