Mutation‐specific antibody detects mutant BRAF<sup>V600E</sup> protein expression in human colon carcinomas
8 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A point mutation (V600E) in the BRAF oncogene is a prognostic biomarker and may predict for nonresponse to anti-EGFR antibody therapy in patients with colorectal carcinoma. BRAFV600E mutations are frequently detected in tumors with microsatellite instability and indicate a sporadic origin. We used a mutation-specific antibody to examine mutant BRAFV600E protein expression and its concordance with...
