Abstract excerpt
We have developed a prostate carcinogenesis model in Fischer 344 rats using 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl (DMAB) as a carcinogen to examine various potential modifying factors. In this study, mutational changes in the ras and p53 genes were assessed in DMAB-induced rat prostate and seminal vesicle carcinomas by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and subsequent direct DNA sequencing. Eight of 22...
