Abstract excerpt
The molecular pathology of human pancreatic cancer is poorly understood, particularly with regard to the role of known tumor-suppressor genes. We have examined the expression of the p53 and Rb-1 tumor-suppressor genes in seven human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines and 10 primary pancreatic carcinomas. Examination of the Rb-1 gene by Northern hybridization and immunoprecipitation analyses revealed the absence of...
