Abstract excerpt
We examined the expression of the putative tumor suppressor gene deleted in colorectal carcinoma (DCC) in human colon adenoma tissues and cell lines. One allele of DCC is deleted in 70% of human colon carcinomas, and DCC expression is undetectable in 90% of colon carcinoma cell lines. One DCC allele is also deleted in 50% of human colon adenomas, but results from protein expression studies have differed as to...
