## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: The correct diagnosis of metastatic germ cell tumors is critical, because these tumors can be effectively treated and are even cured with modern therapy. Their histopathologic diagnosis can be challenging without immunohistochemical markers, which currently have limitati

## Abstract Nucleostemin (NS) is implicated in the control of stem and cancer cell proliferation. In the present study, we have examined the expression of NS and its spliced variants in various brain tumors. Total RNA was extracted from 59 brain tumor samples, and the expression of different NS spl
## Abstract MAGE‐A10 is a highly immunogenic member of the MAGE‐A family of cancer/testis tumor‐associated antigens (C/T TAAs). Studies performed with broadly reactive antibodies have helped to initially characterize this TAA. However, no specific reagents have been developed so far, thus preventin
N-myc and L-myc proto-oncogenes are expressed in many developing embryonic tissues. In contrast to expression of the closely related c-myc gene, N-myc and L-myc expression is very restricted in adult tissues. We show that small amounts of the L-myc RNA can be detected in normal adult testicular tiss
## Abstract The spectrum of reactivity with various types of cells of a monoclonal antibody (CH‐4) which detects a private MHC antigen of chickens was analysed. CH‐4 agglutinates only RBCs that possess the __B__^2^ (MHC) haplotype. A new rosetteforming cell (RFC) assay was devised to detect individ
