Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized by nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and plays an important role in tumour growth. In this study, inducible NOS (iNOS) expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 34 melanocytic naevi (13 common melanocytic naevi, six Spitz naevi, and 15 so-called 'dysplastic naev

The ERM (ezrin, radixin and moesin) family members, located just beneath the plasma membranes, are thought to be involved in the association of action filaments with the plasma membrane. One of the family members, moesin, is reported to bind to CD44. Splice variants of CD44 are thought to be associa
Background. Fatty acid synthase (FASE) is required for fatty acid synthesis. Elevated levels of FASE have been observed in a variety of malignancies. Methods: We examined the expression of FASE in 56 primary squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the tongue using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with a monocl
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. A considerable body of evidence supports the concept that a significant number of cutaneous malignant melanomas progress through a precursor lesion or dysplastic melanocytic nevi (DN). Tumor angiogenesis likely plays a critical role in early development of melanoma, and
Melanoma antigen-encoding (MAGE) genes encode peptides which are expressed by a proportion of malignant melanomas (MMs) and can be recognized in vitro by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes in a human leucocyte-associated antigen (HLA)-restricted manner. Although expression of MAGE genes has been stu
