The expression of the Wilms tumor suppressor gene WT1 is largely restricted to elements of the developing urogenital system. In the fetal kidney, WT1 transcripts are present at low levels in the condensing mesenchyme and at much higher levels in differentiating glomerular epithelium and are not dete
## 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_
