title: [Phenotypic variability in gag-myc transgenic mice].
abstract: The study of neoplastic growth capacity in gag-myc F3-F4 transgenic mice showed that they retain the capacity to develop hyperplasia and benign and malignant tumors same as F0-F2 transgenic mice do. However, the histological spectrum of tumors was much narrower, chiefly, due to the absence of rare patterns. The tumors in F3-F4 transgenic mice were mainly lymphomas and epithelial tumors of endocrine or exocrine glands. The incorporation of gag-myc in the genome of F3-F4 transgenic mice failed to tell on the variation of such quantitative polygenic characteristics as body mass and growth.
