Abstract excerpt
The butyrophilin family genes are immunoregulatory genes with either immune stimulatory or inhibitory functions. In the present study, we analyzed three butyrophilin genes, BTN2A1 (immune-stimulatory), BTN2A2 (inhibitory), and BTNL3 (stimulatory) genes in sporadic colon cancers (CCs). By the mutation analysis, we identified the frameshift mutations of BTN2A1, BTN2A2, and BTNL3 genes in 2, 4, and 8 CCs in...
