Abstract excerpt
The pathogenicity of the human c-erbB-2 oncogene was evaluated in transgenic mice. A DNA sequence comprising the promoter-enhancer region of the MMTV LTR and a constitutively activated allele of the human c-erbB-2 growth factor receptor gene was introduced into the germ line of mice. Expression of the transgene was observed in kidney, lung, mammary gland, salivary gland, Harderian gland, and in epithelial cells...
