mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: mean age at death is ~300 days

neoplasm
• all animals at time of death/sacrifice have extensive tumor burden
• Background Sensitivity: animals are prone to thymic lymphomas (seen in ~20% of animals)
• Background Sensitivity: animals are prone to skin papillomas (seen in ~25% of animals); tumors typically arising on ears and snout are predominantly pedunculated and show limited tendency to progress to squamous cell carcinoma
• 100% of animals show multifocal tumors at time of death/sacrifice
• tumors are detectable at 1 week of age as small pleural nodules; multiplicity and size of tumors increases with age, and ultimately result in respiratory distress and death
• tumors range from mild hyperplasia/dysplasia to overt carcinoma; small lesions consist of hyperplastic alveolar epithelium
• in older mice, infrequent metastases to thoracic lymph nodes, the kidney and other visceral organs
• as lesions enlarge, they form small alveolar adenomas; some show areas of glandular differentiation
