Abstract excerpt
We screened a panel of 103 human lung cancer cell lines for the presence of point mutations at codons 12, 13 or 61 of the human K-, H- and N-ras genes, using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP), created through mismatched primers during polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of genomic DNA. We found ras mutations in 22/61 (36%) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, predominantly in K-ras codon 12....
