Abstract excerpt
Rat liver epithelial cells (RLE) are suspected to be pluripotent hepatic stem cells that give rise to a diverse variety of liver tumors. The molecular events responsible for transformation of these cells and the diversity of the tumor phenotypes remains to be fully elucidated. We examined the genotype and phenotype of RLE cells infected with retroviral shuttle vectors carrying a neomycin resistance (neor) Ha-ras...
