Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factors (TNFs) and heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) are determining factors in immunologic mechanisms to tumor cells. The authors designed a case-controlled study to investigate the potential association of the polymorphisms of TNF-alpha and of hsp70-2 and hsp70-hom genes with malignant tumors. METHODS: The authors used an allele specific polymerase chain reaction to characterize the...
