Abstract excerpt
The Harvey ras locus was examined for restriction fragment polymorphism and loss of allelic heterozygosity in 62 oral cancer patients. Southern blot analysis on BamHI digests of the tumour tissue DNA, revealed 23 patients with H-ras-1 heterozygosity. The probes used to study the polymorphism were the BamHI 6.6-kb fragment encoding the complete H-ras-1 sequence plus the variable tandem repeat (VTR) region, and the...
