## Abstract The Ki‐__ras__ proto‐oncogene is activated by specific point mutations and is the transforming gene often identified in rodent and human lung tumors. An in vitro model to aid in the study of the consequences of Ki‐__ras__ activation and expression in mouse lung is needed. Accordingly, w

## Abstract Although the Ki‐__ras__ gene is an often‐observed transforming gene in lung tumors, little is understood of the factors that regulate the expression of the normal gene in lung cells. Therefore, we used untransformed mouse lung epithelial cells to determine the effect of serum, growth fa
## Abstract The role of __O__^6^‐methylguanine (O^6^MG) DNA adduct formation and persistence in the formation of 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanone (NNK)—induced lung tumors from resistant C57BL/6 and susceptible A/J mice was investigated. In addition, the frequencies of pulmonary tumor
## Abstract As part of an evaluation of the effectiveness of using __ras__ mutation analysis for distinguishing carcinogen‐induced from spontaneous tumors, we examined the profile of __ras__ gene point mutations in spontaneous, 7,12‐dimethylbenz[__a__]anthracene (DMBA)‐induced, and N‐nitrosodiethyl
A differential susceptibility phenotype to the organotropic colon carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM) has been described in mice. The following studies were undertaken to test the hypothesis that intraspecific susceptibility can be accounted for by the specific complement of genetic alterations acquired b
## Abstract An in vitro cell model of mouse lung alveologenic carcinoma consisting of preneoplastic nonmalignant cells, spontaneously transformed cells, and urethane‐induced malignant cells was analyzed for phenotypic and genotypic changes associated with the transition to neoplasia. The polymerase
