Abstract excerpt
C3H/HeJ (C3H) mice are approximately 50-fold more susceptible to liver-tumor induction than C57BL/6J (B6) mice. This difference is susceptibility is a consequence of allelic differences in hepatocarcinogen sensitivity (Hcs) genes that control the growth of preneoplastic lesions in the liver. We have shown previously that these two strains differ in their responses to partial hepatectomy, which acts as a promoter...
