Abstract excerpt
The neu/cerb-B2 gene is frequently amplified and/or overexpressed in human epithelial ovarian cancers. We have established an inbred animal model for ovarian cancer that mimics aspects of human ovarian cancer by transducing a spontaneously immortalized rat ovarian surface epithelial cell line in culture with ecotropic retroviruses expressing a mutated rat neu/c-erb-B2 oncogene. Transfectants expressing neu at a...
