Quantitation of alpha-fetoprotein and albumin messenger RNA in human hepatocellular carcinoma

1 Jun 1996

Abstract excerpt

To analyze gene expression of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and albumin in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of these proteins in six human hepatoma cell lines and in 30 cases of HCC were quantitatively analyzed by competitive reverse transcription (RT) followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The transcriptional levels of both AFP and albumin genes in HepG2 and Huh 7 cell lines were 10(10)...
