CD44 is a family of cell surface transmembrane glycoproteins members which differ in the extracellular part by sequences derived by alternative splicing of 10 variant exons (v1-v10). CD44 proteins containing such variant sequences have been implicated in tumor metastasis formation. Here, we have eva

## BACKGROUND. Overexpression of alternatively spliced CD44 isoforms has been reported to correlate with poor prognosis in several human malignancies. To the authors' knowledge, there are no studies concerning the prognostic value of CD44 isoform overexpression in patients with squamous cell carci
We have examined the expression of the transmembrane glycoproteins CD44 in four human prostate tumor cell lines. Expression was examined at the protein level by flow cytometric analysis and Western blot, and at the mRNA level by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). All four cell
## Abstract We investigated the expression levels of human lactoferrin (Lf), a steroid hormoneβinducible gene product the expression of which is often altered during oncogenesis, and of Ξβlactoferrin (ΞLf), its alternative isoform, which has been shown to be absent from tumor cell lines in commonly
The expression of the adhesion molecule CD44 was examined in 14 primary sinonasal melanomas (SMs), aggressive neoplasms with short survival times, as CD44 overexpression has been linked to poor survival in human cancers. Immunohistochemistry was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded section
