Abstract excerpt
A sensitive method was developed and applied to examine the distribution of K-ras gene mutations in histologically differing areas of lung tissues obtained from lung cancer patients. This method, which combines polymerase chain reaction (PCR), mutation allele enrichment (MAE), and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), allows detection of one K-ras mutant allele present in 10(4) to 10(5) wild-type...
