Abstract excerpt
In A/J strain mice, the carcinogen urethan induces lung adenomas and adenocarcinomas that contain Ki-ras-activating mutations primarily in codon 61. These mutations affect the middle adenine in codon 61 resulting in the substitution of either arginine (AT----GC transition) or leucine (AT----TA transversion) for the wild-type glutamine. To analyze the expression of the wild-type and mutant Ki-ras mRNAs in primary...
