Abstract excerpt
One of the key events in tumor initiation in mouse skin is mutational activation of the H-ras gene. Papillomas induced by the most carcinogenic environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P), in SENCAR mouse skin contain a specific H-ras codon 61 (CAA-->CTA) mutation. We describe here detection of these mutations in preneoplastic skin by measuring the frequency of an induced...
