Comments
|
The patient had not received prior radiation or chemotherapy.
MSTO-211H cells have high affinity binding sites for EGF, and express Neuron specific enolase (NSE) and both the alpha and beta subunits of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).
L-DOPA decarboxylase (DDC), bombesin and neurotensin were not detected.
The cells overexpress the c-myc protooncogene, and no gene rearrangement or amplification was observed.
They are positive for the expression of v-src, v-abl, v-erb B, c-raf 1, Ha-ras, Ki-ras, and N-ras.
Expression of N-myc, L-myc, c-myb, c-fos, v-fes, v-fms and v-sis oncogene expression was not detected.
The cells can reach a saturation density of 400000 cells per sq cm, but will slough off of the surface as they attain this density.
