Expression of mRNA for the 5 somatostatin receptors (sst 1-5 ) was characterized by Northern blot and RT-PCR analysis in 20 meningioma and 9 glioma samples. sst 1 mRNA was detectable by Northern blots of poly-A ุ RNA in meningiomas but not gliomas. In contrast, sst 2 mRNA was readily detected by Nor

Transforming growth factor-6 (TGF-p) receptors constitute a family of transmembrane proteins that bind TGF-P ligands. In this study we assessed the growth responsiveness to TGF-P I in pancreatic cancer cell lines and characterized the levels of expression of TGF-f3 receptors in these cell lines and
Using in situ hybridization techniques with selective oligoprobes, the gene expression of sst 1 , sst 2 , sst 3 and sst 5 was studied in a series of 32 human pituitary adenomas, 28 breast tumors and 21 endocrine gastroentero-pancreatic tumors, shown to express somatostatin receptors to variable exte
## Background: Over-expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr) is associated with a variety of human malignancies, including head and neck cancer. it has also been studied for its effect on cancer cell responses to chemotherapy. to accurately measure changes in egfr expression that
## Background: For tumors that express somatostatin receptors (sstr), radiolabeled somatostatin analogs, such as 111in-pentetreotide, can demonstrate the presence of tumor by radioligand uptake using somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (srs). the use of 111in-pentetreotide for srs depends on the spe
