The differentiation of spontaneous and induced adenocarcinomas is of interest in the setting of carcinogenicity studies. In the experiment reported here, a differentiation of morphologically similar spontaneous and induced mammary adenocarcinomas of the rat is achieved by gene expression profiling. By choosing one marker gene based on the gene expression profile for each tumour type, we were able to distinguish the tumours by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-QPCR) as well.
