Abstract excerpt
In a mouse model of multistage carcinogenesis elicited by the SV40 large T-antigen (Tag) oncogene in pancreatic beta cells, the gene for insulin-like growth factor IGF2 is focally up-regulated and functionally implicated in tumour development. The IGF2 gene is differentially regulated in normal tissues: the paternal allele is transiently expressed during embryogenesis, whereas the maternal allele is genomically...
