Expression of the Proliferation and Apoptosis-Associated CAS Protein in Benign and Malignant Cutaneous Melanocytic Lesions

Abstract excerpt

We have examined the expression of the cellular apoptosis susceptibility protein, a nuclear transport factor that plays a role in apoptosis and cell proliferation, in benign and malignant melanocytic lesions. Tissue samples of 55 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded melanoma (primary n=32, metastatic n=23) and of 27 control cases (junctional dermal, compound, Spitz, Reed, blue nevi, balloon-cell nevus, lentigo...
