Abstract excerpt
Twenty percent of breast cancers exhibit amplification or overexpression of ERBB2/neu and a poor prognosis. As the susceptibility genes controlling ERBB2 tumorgenesis are unknown, in a genetic mapping project we crossed transgenic mice expressing the neu oncogene under control of MMTV promoter with recombinant congenic (RC) strains, which provided a high mapping power. RC strains differed considerably in tumor...
