Abstract excerpt
The expression of trefoil peptides (TFF1 and TFF2) and mucins (MUC1, MUC2, MUC5AC, and MUC6) has previously been described in gastric polyps. In the present study, the expression profile of these trefoil peptides and mucins was characterized in 96 gastric carcinomas, in an attempt to further the understanding of the histogenesis and cell differentiation of gastric carcinoma. Taking together the co-expression of...
