We examined 22 cases of renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) for structural alterations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (ECFR) gene and found gene amplification in one case of high-stag+high-grade RCC. Dot blot analysis of the total RNA from tumorous and normal kidney tissues revealed overexpression o
Southern blot-hybridization analysis of 10 breast carcinoma cell lines demonstrated an amplification of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor gene in the BTZO cell line. The gene was amplified 10to 14-fold when compared to the level seen in human placental DNA. Northern blot analysis indicated
## Abstract The degree of gene amplification for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its expression levels were examined in 4 cases of tumor lesions and their cell lines of human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity. The amplification was detected in 1 case (ZA), but not signifi
