Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To evaluate roles of human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family molecules in ameloblastomas, protein expression and gene status were analyzed in odontogenic tissues. METHODS: Sixty five ameloblastomas, 10 dental follicles, and 11 dentigerous cysts were immunohistochemically examined with antibodies against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER2, HER3, and HER4. Amplification of EGFR...
