A tumorigenicity assay was performed using DNA extracted from the human mammary carcinoma cell line MCF-7. Seven nude mouse tumors were obtained and were analyzed for the presence of human sequences and known activated oncogenes. The c-erbB.2/neu gene was identified in two tumors and two ras oncogenes in two other tumors. In order to characterize the mechanism of activation of the c-erbB.2/neu oncogene, we isolated and analyzed this gene from one of the tumors. The cloned gene did not present any rearrangement. c-erbB.2/neu transcripts from the nude mice tumors were of normal size. In one case overexpression was observed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008819 Mice, Nude Mutant mice homozygous for the recessive gene "nude" which fail to develop a thymus. They are useful in tumor studies and studies on immune responses. Athymic Mice,Mice, Athymic,Nude Mice,Mouse, Athymic,Mouse, Nude,Athymic Mouse,Nude Mouse
D009368 Neoplasm Transplantation Experimental transplantation of neoplasms in laboratory animals for research purposes. Transplantation, Neoplasm,Neoplasm Transplantations,Transplantations, Neoplasm
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D011518 Proto-Oncogene Proteins Products of proto-oncogenes. Normally they do not have oncogenic or transforming properties, but are involved in the regulation or differentiation of cell growth. They often have protein kinase activity.

D011519 Proto-Oncogenes Normal cellular genes homologous to viral oncogenes. The products of proto-oncogenes are important regulators of biological processes and appear to be involved in the events that serve to maintain the ordered procession through the cell cycle. Proto-oncogenes have names of the form c-onc. Proto-Oncogene,Proto Oncogene,Proto Oncogenes
D011988 Receptors, Thyroid Hormone Specific high affinity binding proteins for THYROID HORMONES in target cells. They are usually found in the nucleus and regulate DNA transcription. These receptors are activated by hormones that leads to transcription, cell differentiation, and growth suppression. Thyroid hormone receptors are encoded by two genes (GENES, ERBA): erbA-alpha and erbA-beta for alpha and beta thyroid hormone receptors, respectively.
