Detection of telomerase activity by combination of TRAP method and scintillation proximity assay (SPA)
15 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
Numerous studies on telomerase, an enzyme which can elongate telomere ends (1,2), led to the increasing evidence that the presence of telomerase in cells that normally lack it may contribute to the uncontrolled cell growth of cancer (3–6). Those findings, together with the fact that the enzyme is not active in normal cells (7), make it an interesting target for cancer drugs, as well as an important marker for...
