Telomerase activity has been found in a variety of malignant tumors but only rarely in benign tumors or normal tissues. In this study, we investigated telomerase activation in 37 ovarian tumors, including benign, borderline and malignant neoplasms. Telomerase activity was detected using the telomeri

Studies using the telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay have demonstrated telomerase activity not only in cancers but also in non-cancerous lesions. However, quantitative differences in activity between both lesions have not been examined. In the present study, using a stretch PCR ass
Many types of human tumours and immortal cell lines have been demonstrated to exhibit telomerase activity with the recently formulated telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP assay). However, a small proportion of undoubted tumour samples give a negative result and it has been postulated that,
## Background and objectives: Telomerase is thought to be responsible for cell immortality, and bcl-2 has been demonstrated to regulate apoptosis. recent studies have shown a wide occurrence of telomerase activation and bcl-2 deregulation in human carcinoma cells. ## Methods: We examined telomera
The human telomerase enzyme is composed of two essential components, hTR, which acts as a template for reverse transcription, and hTERT, which is the putative catalytic subunit for the enzyme. Recent studies have demonstrated a good correlation between hTERT expression and telomerase activation, whe
