Abstract excerpt
Transgenic mice expressing transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) in type II cells under control of the lung-specific surfactant protein-C (SP-C) promoter develop pulmonary fibrosis and marked airspace hypoplasia. To identify cellular signaling mechanisms involved in lesion formation, we generated transgenic mice expressing a mutant epidermal growth factor receptor lacking a portion of the intracytoplasmic...
