Differential expression of the c‐<i>kit</i> proto‐oncogene in germ cell tumours
1 Nov 1995
Abstract excerpt
The c-kit proto-oncogene product and its ligand stem cell factor play an important role in haematopoiesis, spermatogenesis, and melanogenesis. Using an anti-c-kit antiserum raised against a synthetic peptide, we studied the immunohistochemical expression of the c-kit gene product in 60 germ cell tumours (GCTs) (53 testicular, 7 extragonadal), derived from primary GCTs in 45 cases and metastatic tumours in 15...
