Skin carcinoma development in nontransgenic, K14E6WT, and K14E6I128T mice
| Genotype | Skin carcinoma incidence (no. of mice with tumors/total no.) | Mice with carcinomas (%) | Monitoring period (mo) | Reference(s) or source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| K14E6WT | 26/180a | 14.4 | 15 | 40 |
| K14E6I128T | 2/140b | 1.4c | 20d | This study |
| FVB/N | 0/150 | <0.7 | 15 | 40 |
| FVB/N | 0/98 | <1 | 24 | 27 |
Tumor incidence in K14E6WT line 5737 mice.
Tumor incidence in K14E6I128T line 6061 and 6072 mice. Note that one additional carcinoma arose in a K14E6I128T founder mouse (line 6086) that was not bred.
The difference between the percentages of K14E6WT and K14E6I128T mice that developed carcinomas was statistically significant (P < 0.0002).
Tumors arose at 12 and 20 months.
