Abstract excerpt
The efficiency of detection of H- and K-ras mutations in 27 CD-1 mouse liver tumors by direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified DNA isolated from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues was compared with that after assay by both NIH 3T3 transfection (followed by sequencing of amplified transformant DNA) and direct sequencing of PCR-amplified DNA isolated from frozen tumors. Some tumor...
