Incidence of p53 and Ha-ras gene mutations in chemically induced rat mammary carcinomas
1 Oct 1996
Abstract excerpt
To determine whether p53 alterations, which are frequent in human breast cancers, are also common in rat mammary tumors, we examined 40 tumors from 24 rats treated with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and 34 tumors from 14 rats treated with N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU) (an N-nitroso compound). DMBA and NMU are known genotoxic mutagens. The entire coding regions of the p53 and Ha-ras genes were examined for...
