Abstract excerpt
Murine strains which bear constitutive inactivating mutations of either the APC or the p53 tumor suppressor genes are characterised by spontaneous tumors. APC mutated (Min) mice develop large and small bowel adenomas, a small proportion of which, in time, become malignant. p53 deficient mice deve...
