Progression of human cutaneous melanoma is associated with loss of expression of c<i>‐kit</i> proto‐oncogene receptor
9 Sept 1992
Abstract excerpt
Mutations at the white spotting (w) locus in mice have deleterious effects on germ cells, melanocytes and hematopoietic stem cells. The w locus encodes the c-kit tyrosine-kinase receptor whose ligand is the product of the SI locus. Using monoclonal antibodies (MAb(s)) to the extracellular domain, we have evaluated the expression of c-kit in normal and transformed melanocytes. This cell lineage synthesizes a...
