Expression of the Oligodendroglial Lineage-Associated Markers Olig1 and Olig2 in Different Types of Human Gliomas
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Because a specific group of oligodendrogliomas is susceptible to adjuvant therapy, it is important to elucidate the biological characteristics of these tumors. In situ hybridization analyses have revealed that Olig genes are expressed in oligodendroglial lineage cells and are highly expressed in oligodendrogliomas. To clarify whether OLIG is a tumor-specific marker for oligodendrogliomas, we have investigated the...
