Abstract excerpt
We have used the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter to express two dominant negative (DN) fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) isoforms in the mammary epithelium of transgenic mice. While expression of DN-FGFR1(IIIc) showed no discernible phenotype, a similar kinase negative form of FGFR2(IIIb) caused a marked impairment of lobuloalveolar development. The growth retardation was apparent by mid-pregnancy and...
