Abstract excerpt
Ethylnitrosourea (ENU) given transplacentally to rats induces schwannomas of the cranial, spinal, and peripheral nerves, with a high frequency of mutations in the neu proto-oncogene. To establish the requirement for such mutations in tumorigenesis of the Schwann cell, spontaneous schwannomas from BD-VI rats were evaluated for transforming mutations in the transmembrane domain of the protein encoded by the neu...
