Abstract excerpt
We have been using PA-1 human teratocarcinoma cells to study mechanisms by which oncogenes induce transformation. Tumorigenic PA-1 cells at passages greater than 100 (greater than P100) contain a spontaneously activated N-ras oncogene, while earlier-passage preneoplastic cells contain only the germ-line protooncogene and are nontumorigenic. One preneoplastic cell clone of PA-1 cells can be transformed by...
