Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of the Neu/ErbB-2 receptor tyrosine kinase has been implicated in the genesis of human breast cancer. Indeed, expression of either activated or wild-type neu in the mammary epithelium of transgenic mice results in the induction of mammary tumors. Previously, we have shown that many of the mammary tumors arising in transgenic mice expressing wild-type neu occur through somatic activating mutations...
