Altered Growth of Human Colon Cancer Cell Lines Disrupted at Activated Ki- <i>ras</i>
2 Apr 1993
Abstract excerpt
Point mutations that activate the Ki-ras proto-oncogene are presented in about 50 percent of human colorectal tumors. To study the functional significance of these mutations, the activated Ki-ras genes in two human colon carcinoma cell lines, DLD-1 and HCT 116, were disrupted by homologous recombination. Compared with parental cells, cells disrupted at the activated Ki-ras gene were morphologically altered, lost...
