Expression of the melanoma antigen-encoding gene in human lung cancer
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We surveyed expression of melanoma antigen-encoding genes in lung cancer because of promising implications for immunotherapy. METHODS: We studied 57 human lung carcinoma specimens using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: In the samples, the expression of melanoma antigen-encoding genes 1, 2, and 3 was observed in 9/43 (20.9%), 13/43 (30.2%), and 22/48...
