strain_drgs_chems Slow absorption of diethylstilboestrol leading to death from bladder calculi and papillomas (Dunning and Curtis 1946, Dunning et al 1947). Resistant to mammary tumour induction by7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene at doses which in strains OM, NSD, WF, LEW and BUF werehighly susceptible. This is inherited as a dominant characteristic and appears to be a property ofthe mammary gland rather than a systemic effect (Isaacs 1988). Also highly resistant to theinduction of mammary cancer following exposure to dust of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)-anthracene powder applied directly to exposed mammary tissue, in contrast with WF (Takahashi et al,1992). Subtractive hybridization using COP and WF mRNAs suggested that three genes(alpha-casein, lipoprotein lipase and an unidentified gene) were over-expressed in COP mammary gland. Northern analysis also suggested that beta and gamma-casein genes were also over-expressed in resistant WKY and COP, but not in susceptible F344, WF or SD strains (Hsuand Gould, 1993). 1004
