Abstract excerpt
The role of ras oncogenes in the pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma is unclear. We have previously shown that insertion of a mutated ras oncogene into cultured human proximal tubular cells, the normal counterpart of renal cell carcinomas, initiates a series of transformation events which results in cells possessing a renal cancer phenotype. These data suggested a role for mutated ras genes in the initiation and...
