摘要
Recently, the use of selected genetically altered mouse models in the detection of carcinogens after shea-term chemical exposures has been evaluated. Studies of several chemicals conducted by the National Toxicology Program in Tg.AC transgenic and heterozygous p53-deficient mice have been completed recently and represent a major contribution to this effort, as well as the largest accumulation to date of toxicologic pathology data in these 2 lines of mice. The purpose of this report is to describe the proliferative target organ effects observed in this set of studies, as well as to present the tumor profile in the control groups of this data set. These findings provide a comprehensive toxicologic assessment of these 2 genetically altered mouse strains, which are of emerging importance in toxicologic pathology.
