Abstract excerpt
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens obtained by fine needle aspiration of pancreatic masses from 47 patients were examined retrospectively for cytology and the presence of mutant c-K-ras oncogenes. Point mutations of c-K-ras in codon 12 were detected by RNA-DNA RNAse A mismatch cleavage after in vitro DNA amplification of the cellular c-K-ras sequences by the polymerase chain reaction. Of the 36...
