Table 1. Experimental groups.
| Group | Genotype | Constructs injected | No. harboring tumors (tumor multiplicity) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arf –/– | pT/Caggs-V12Nras + pPGK-SB13 | 8/8 (TNTC) |
| 2 | Arf –/– | pT/Caggs-V12Nras + pPGK | 4/7 (0–1) |
| 3 | Arf –/– | pT/Caggs-V12A38Nras + pPGK-SB13 | 1/7* (NA) |
| 4 | Arf –/– | pT2/Caggs-Luciferase + pPGK-SB13 | 0/5 (NA) |
| 5 | Arf +/– | pT/Caggs-V12Nras + pPGK-SB13 | 7/8 (2–10) |
| 6 | Arf –/– | pT/Caggs-V12S35Nras + pPGK-SB13 | 2/3† (1) |
| 7 | Arf –/– | pT/Caggs-V12G37Nras + pPGK-SB13 | 0/3 (NA) |
Each group received a different combination of transposon and transposase and was monitored for sickness. When moribund, liver tumor burden was assessed, and approximate numbers are indicated. TNTC, too numerous to count; NA, not applicable.
This mouse developed a different tumor type than the others
The third mouse died during the study and was not recovered
