## Abstract Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) is a hormonally regulated, oncogenic virus of mice. MMTVβlike virus DNA has previously been detected in human breast cancers, liver disease, and liver cancers. It is hypothesized that local hormonal effects might be of primary importance in determining M
In this study we examined the regulation of expression of the human MUC1 gene in vivo, by developing MUC1 transgenic mice. The data showed that epithelial-specific expression of MUC1 can be directed by just 1.4 kb of 5' flanking sequence using MUC1 cDNA as a reporter gene in vivo. Furthermore, high
