Abstract excerpt
The human MUC4 gene is not expressed in normal pancreas; however, its dysregulation results in high levels of expression in pancreatic tumors. To investigate the tumor-associated expression, MUC4 cDNA was cloned from a human pancreatic tumor cell line cDNA expression library using a polyclonal antibody raised against human deglycosylated mucin and RT-PCR. Pancreatic MUC4 cDNA shows differences in 12 amino acid...
