Abstract excerpt
This study examined the cytogenetic characteristics of keratinocyte cell lines derived from rat oral tissues treated in vivo with the carcinogen 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide. A parent tumour with a spectrum of differentiation was used to establish clonal subpopulations that formed differentiated (squamous cell carcinomas; SCCs) and undifferentiated (spindle cell phenotype) tumours following transplantation to athymic...
