  • Transgenic animal model system for human cutaneous melanoma
    Patent number: 5550316
    Abstract: The present invention relates to transgenic animal model systems for human cutaneous melanoma. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that, in susceptible transgenic mice, accelerated formation of melanoma tumors occurred near the wound borders of skin grafts carrying the Tyr-SV40E transgene, indicating that factors present during wound healing facilitate the formation of cutaneous melanoma in susceptible tissue.
