Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status is the best predictor of patient response to treatments with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in primary lung adenocarcinoma and is typically analyzed by DNA-based techniques, such as direct DNA sequencing and allele-specific PCR. Recently, however, two mutation-specific antibodies against delE746-A750 in exon 19 and L858R in exon 21 have opened the door for a...
