The use of knockout mice reveals a synergistic role of the Vav1 and Rasgrf2 gene deficiencies in lymphomagenesis and metastasis.
BACKGROUND:Vav1 and RasGRF2 are GDP/GTP exchange factors for Ras superfamily GTPases with roles in the development and/or effector functions of T-lymphocytes. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:Given that the phenotype of Vav1(-/-), Rasgrf2(-/-) and Vav1(-/-);Rasgrf2(-/-) mice has been studied so far in...
