Abstract excerpt
K-ras oncogene activations by point mutations are frequent in many forms of human cancers but there is a special category of cancers occurring in immunosuppressed patients after kidney transplantation in which the frequency of K-ras oncogene activation has not been fully studied. We used a new sensitive and easy method for the detection of this mutation, and in 8 DNA samples studied from various neoplasias of 8...
