Abstract excerpt
We examined lung cancer cell lines for the presence of beta-tubulin gene alteration based on a previous report of a relationship between frequent beta-tubulin gene mutation in non-small-cell lung cancer and clinical response to taxanes as well as the prognosis. The mutation was defined by analyzing genomic DNA from 31 lung cancer cell lines by direct genomic sequencing using specific primers for the beta-tubulin...
