Transgenic mice:
1. Utilizing a specific oncogene (cancer-causing gene), transgenic mice undergo modification, resulting in the development of a distinct type of cancer. This modification proves valuable for addressing inquiries related to the correlation between oncogenes and the progression of cancer.
2. Theoretically, these animals also hold promise for conducting research on cancer treatment and strategies for preventing malignancy.
3. Within a laboratory setting, a transgenic mouse model dedicated to exploring breast cancer was established. An analysis of the oncogenes Myc and ras was conducted to ascertain their role in potentially inducing breast cancer in mice subjected to genetic transformation.
