Abstract excerpt
K-ras codon 12 GGT-->GAT and GGT-->GTT mutations are the most frequently observed K-ras point mutations in human and rodent tumors and therefore are implicated in carcinogenesis for many tissues. Measurement of these mutations in rat models and human tissue could facilitate a more logical extrapolation of rodent tumorigenesis data to human disease. We have developed allele-specific competitive blocker PCR...
