## Abstract Silencing of a specific mRNA using double stranded RNA oligonucleotides represents one of the newest technologies for suppressing a specific gene product. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) are 21 nucleotides long, double stranded RNA fragments that are identical in sequence to the target mR
Over-expression of the proto-oncogene HER2/neu in breast cancer and certain other tumors appears to be a central mechanism that may be partly responsible for cellular progression of the neoplastic phenotype. Transfection of mammalian cells and over-expression of HER2/neu appears to result in reduced
Geldanamycin belongs to the family of benzoquinoid ansamycin tyrosine-kinase inhibitors. We have examined its effects on Her-2/neu kinase activity, protein expression level, and proliferation of Her-2+ malignant cells. In SK-BR-3 breast-cancer cells, short-time treatment with geldanamycin completely
