Abstract excerpt
To determine whether the Lewis enzyme responsible for the Lewis blood type antigens on erythrocytes synthesizes the Lewis antigens on normal cells and cancer cells in colon tissue, we performed genotyping of the Lewis gene by the PCR-RFLP method and by immunohistochemical staining of Lewis antigens and the Lewis enzyme with specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in colon tissues obtained from 100 colon cancer...
