Abstract excerpt
Biochemical assays for ras mutations are capable of detecting a mutant allele only if it is present in at least 5% of cells tested. Further, ras mutation assays which utilize the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are unable to distinguish a ras mutation in a small population of cells from mutations resulting from Taq DNA polymerase base misincorporation. We used a standard restriction fragment length polymorphism...
