Abstract excerpt
Changes in the CD44 variant (CD44v) isoforms on the cell surface have been correlated with tumor metastasis. In this study we have examined the expression of CD44 variant isoforms in human breast carcinoma samples by a variety of techniques including immunohistochemistry, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and nucleotide sequencing. Using RT-PCR, we have determined that normal human breast...
