MAP-2e, a Novel MAP-2 Isoform, Is Expressed in Gliomas and Delineates Tumor Architecture and Patterns of Infiltration
1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
The MAP-2 isoform containing exon 13 (MAP-2e) is expressed in human fetal development as early as 15 gestational weeks and parallels oligodendrocyte maturation. MAP-2e is down-regulated following myelination and is expressed in few cells in the adult central nervous system (CNS). To determine whether CNS tumors express MAP-2e, we screened 122 archival, paraffin-embedded adult and pediatric tumors of the CNS and...
