Reactive oxygen species formation is strongly suspected to play a role in multistep carcinogenesis, notably in tumor promotion. The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induces peroxide production, oxidative damage to DNA and inflammation in mouse skin. TPA is also known to caus
To develop mouse strains useful for studies of susceptibility and resistance to the induction of skin tumors, three new inbred SENCAR strains were independently derived by random inbreeding of outbred SENCAR mice. Characterization of these mice for sensitivity to skin tumor development indicated tha
