Development of a Real-time RT-PCR Assay for Detecting EGFRvIII in Glioblastoma Samples
15 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) is an oncogenic, constitutively active mutant form of the EGFR that is commonly expressed in glioblastoma and is also detected in a number of epithelial cancers. EGFRvIII presents a unique antigenic target for anti-EGFRvIII vaccines and it has been shown to modulate response to EGFR kinase inhibitor therapy. Thus, detection in clinical samples may...
