Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in molecular biology have enabled incorporation of proto-oncogenes into the mouse germline. In this study we use a transgenic mouse line that overexpresses the fibroblastic growth factor (FGF) family member, int-2, under the control of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) regulatory elements. One of the tissues targeted by MMTV is the mouse prostate. Expression of the MMTV-int-2 transgene in male...
