Abstract excerpt
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) expresses Fas antigen on the cell surface, and thus could be sensitive to apoptosis induced by the binding of Fas ligand. Fas gene mutations might be involved in the development of RCC. Fas gene mutations were examined in genomic DNA extracted from RCC lesions. With use of laser capture methods, one RCC and one non-neoplastic lesion per case were microdissected from 15 patients with...
