Abstract excerpt
Human estrogen receptor (hER) variants or mutants with altered functional activity may be responsible for resistance to the antiestrogen tamoxifen in breast cancer. The method presented in this report is a screening method for functional activity of hER in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. hER mRNA isolated from breast cancer tissue is subjected to reverse transcription-PCR, directly cloned into a yeast expression...
