Abstract excerpt
We have recently reported that about 50% of papillary thyroid carcinomas harbor an activated TRK or RET oncogene. Two retroviral vectors containing the activated TRK or RET/PTC oncogene have been used to infect a differentiated rat thyroid epithelial cell line, namely the PC Clone 3 cell line. Upon infection with the TRK virus, the PC Clone 3 cells lost only the ability to trap iodide and to express the...
