The neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor gene was recently implicated in the genesis of human mesothelioma. To investigate the role of this tumor suppressor gene in rat asbestos-induced mesothelioma, a commonly used model for the human disease, we characterized the rat homologue of NF2 and examined rat chrysotile-induced primary mesotheliomas and cell lines derived from chrysotile- and crocidolite-induced...
