Rhabdomyosarcoma can be initiated in activated Pax7+ Muscle Progenitor Cells

Microarray analysis of rhabdomyosarcomas generated using mice with conditional mutations in Kras and p53 using both in vivo and in vitro approaches to identify a cell of origin for rhabdomyosarcoma. Contains rhabdomyosarcomas derived in vivo using Pax7-CreER mice and in vitro using sorted muscle progenitor cells, UPS derived from intramuscular Adeno-Cre injection, and normal muscle.
