Abstract excerpt
Two independent transgenic mouse lines carrying human hybrid c-Ha-ras genes with their own promoter region encoding prototype products, were established. In these lines, about 50% of transgenic offspring had tumors within 18 months. The tumors developed in restricted tissues and about 60% of affected mice had angiosarcomas. The transgenes were expressed both in the tumors and in all normal tissues. However,...
