We studied epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene amplification and expression in 11 early passage human head and neck carcinoma cell lines. Three cell lines demonstrated EGFR gene amplification and 10 lines showed an increase in EGFR mRNA when compared with normal keratinocytes, placenta, and

We examined 22 cases of renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) for structural alterations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (ECFR) gene and found gene amplification in one case of high-stag+high-grade RCC. Dot blot analysis of the total RNA from tumorous and normal kidney tissues revealed overexpression o
Southern blot-hybridization analysis of 10 breast carcinoma cell lines demonstrated an amplification of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor gene in the BTZO cell line. The gene was amplified 10to 14-fold when compared to the level seen in human placental DNA. Northern blot analysis indicated
