Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mutations in the gene coding for the kinase B-Raf are associated with tumour growth in conjunctival melanoma. The purpose of this study is to explore effects of pharmacological B-Raf inhibition in conjunctival melanoma cell lines. METHODS: The B-Raf genotypes were assessed by PCR and subsequent sequencing. Cytotoxicity, cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis rate and phosphorylation rate of ERK and Akt...
