High sensitivity isoelectric focusing to establish a signaling biomarker for the diagnosis of human colorectal cancer.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) involves recurrent amplifications/mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and downstream signal transducers of the Ras pathway, KRAS and BRAF. Whether genetic events predicted to result in increased and constitutive signaling indeed lead to enhanced biological activity is often unclear and, due to technical challenges, unexplored. Here, we...
