Expression of mRNA for the 5 somatostatin receptors (sst 1-5 ) was characterized by Northern blot and RT-PCR analysis in 20 meningioma and 9 glioma samples. sst 1 mRNA was detectable by Northern blots of poly-A Ψ RNA in meningiomas but not gliomas. In contrast, sst 2 mRNA was readily detected by Nor

## Abstract The sensitivity of human tissues and tumors to infection with type C adenoviruses correlates with the expression of the human coxsackie Bβ and adenovirus receptor, hCAR. HCAR is heterogeneously expressed in various tissues and types of human cancer cells, which has implications for the
## Abstract We report expression of the __wt__ I (Wilms' tumor) gene by cultured human melanoma cells. Using RNA polymerase chain reaction analysis, __wt__ I transcripts were detected in 7 of 9 melanoma cell lines but not in 5 normal melanocyte strains. In Northern blot analysis, steadyβstate __wt_
Telomerase activity is involved in the maintenance of telomere length and is thought to be required for cellular immortality and oncogenesis. Three major subunits composing telomerase, human telomerase RNA (hTR), telomeraseassociated protein (TP1) and human telomerase catalytic subunit (hTERT), have
Recently, hematopoietic growth factors have been implicated in protean nonhematopoietic processes. In the current study, expression of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and its receptor (the c-fms proto-oncogene) was investigated in 42 samples of gynecologic tissues. There were 15 samples
