Abstract excerpt
Most mammary carcinomas induced in C3H mice by the mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV) bear a new proviral insertion within a highly conserved locus on chromosome 15 called int-1. A transcriptional unit within this locus is inactive in all tested normal tissues but expressed at low levels in mammar...
