| Strain
Description: |
This strain carries a targeted latent 'hit-and-run' K-ras allele that can be activated by an in vivo spontaneous recombination event ('run'). The in vivo recombination event results in an activated allele (K-rasG12D). Mice carrying this mutation have a mean age of death/sacrifice of 200 days as a result of extensive tumor burden. The most frequent organ site is the lung. Varying grades of tumors are present from hyperplasia/dysplasia to carcinomas similar to human non-small cell lung cancer. Immunohistochemistry indicates tumors develop in alveolar type II cell lineage. Metastasis to thorasic lymph nodes, kidney and other visceral organs occurs with low frequency. Other organ sites include the thymus (thymic lymphoma) and skin (papillomas). A companion strain (K-rasLA1) carries an allele where one half of the in vivo recombination events result in a normal K-ras allele and one half in the K-rasG12D activated allele. |
