Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that oncogenic GGA to GAA mutations in codon 12 of the Ha-ras-1 gene arise spontaneously during normal development of the mammary epithelium of female Fischer 344 (F344) rats. Our result further demonstrated that the vast majority of nitrosomethylurea (NMU)-induced rat mammary tumors with Ha-ras-1 oncogenes arose from these pre-existing mutants. We therefore investigated whether Ha-ras-1...
