Specific detection of c-erbB-2 mRNA expression in gastric cancers by the polymerase chain reaction following reverse transcription

British Journal of Cancer volume 66, pages 84–87 (1992)Cite this article

Abstract

The expression of the c-erbB-2 mRNA in human embryonic lung fibroblasts, a gastric cancer cell line, mature placenta, and 25 gastric cancer tissues was examined by using the polymerase chain reaction following reverse transcription. This technique can be used to examine c-erbB-2 mRNA expression in a small endoscopic biopsy specimen before surgery.
