Abstract excerpt
We report expression of the wt1 (Wilms' tumor) gene by cultured human melanoma cells. Using RNA polymerase chain reaction analysis, wt1 transcripts were detected in 7 of 9 melanoma cell lines but not in 5 normal melanocyte strains. In Northern blot analysis, steady-state wt1 mRNA levels were found in 2 of 4 melanoma lines but not in normal melanocytes. Sequence analysis of the wt1 cDNA expressed by melanoma cell...
