Discusses a study of similarities in the biology of the HER-2/`neu' proto-oncogene in breast and ovarian cancer, in the areas of amplification, over-expres...
Carcinoma of the breast and ovary account for one-third of all cancers occurring in women and together are responsible for approximately one-quarter of can...
The HER-2/neu oncogene encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor with extensive homology to the epidermal growth factor receptor. HER-2/neu has been...
The HER-2/ neu oncogene encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor with extensive homology to the epidermal growth factor receptor. HER-2/ neu has be...
PURPOSE: To determine prospectively the prognostic significance of HER-2/neu oncogene amplification in the primary tumors of breast cancer patients. METHOD...
The development of T-cell therapy for the treatment of human malignancy has been hindered, in large part, by a lack of identifiable tumor antigens. Studies...
The HER-2/ neu proto-oncogene encodes a 185 kDa transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase with significant sequence homology to other members of the class I r...
Breast cancer patients with HER-2/neu oncogene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have been shown to have a better response to tras...
Immunohistochemical study for epidermal growth factor (EGF) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was performed on 222 specimens of gastric carcinoma...
We have designed an Ha-ras/thymidine kinase (TK) cassette that permits the incorporation of chemically synthesized adducts within specific domains of the r...
Tumours of the head and neck were examined for gene amplification and expression of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor by Southern blot and Western...
DNAs from 37 human gastric carcinomas and seven lymph node metastases were analyzed for alterations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene and...
The expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor was examined immunohistochemically in a total of 122 gastric and 61 colonic carcinomas, out of whi...
The neu gene (also called NGL, erbB-2, and HER-2) encodes a 185-190 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein, p185neu, which has tyrosine-specific kinase activity an...
Through the use of a cDNA probe, the human erbB-2 gene was localized by in situ hybridization of normal human chromosomes at 17q11–q21. In situ hybridization of chromosomes derived from fibroblasts carrying a constitutional 15;17t(q22.3...
Tissues of normal human gastric mucosae and 15 advanced gastric carcinomas were studied immunohistologically for the presence of receptors for epidermal gr...
