Abstract excerpt
Mutational activation of the neu (erbB-2) receptor protein tyrosine kinase gene appears to be the triggering event in the process of oncogenesis induced by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (EtNU) in immature Schwann cells of the rat peripheral nervous system. Subsequent loss of the wild-type neu allele may represent a critical secondary step towards malignancy. Developmentally-regulated expression of a wild-type rat neu...
