Abstract excerpt
To study the interactions between dominantly acting oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes we used p53 'knockout' mouse urogenital sinus tissue for retroviral transduction of ras and myc in the mouse prostate reconstitution (MPR) model system. Epithelial hyperplasia was observed in all wild-type p53 MPRs with one small focal cancer and no evidence of metastasis. Prostatic cancer was found in 100% of the...
