To determine whether p
53 gene transcripts were altered in thyroid tumor and adjacent tissues of thyroid tumor, total RNA from 12 tumor specimens (9 carcinomas and 3adenomas) and 4 adjacent tissues of thyroid tumor was exmined by Northern blot hybridization and reverse transcription——polymerase chain reaction. It was found that p
53 gene transcripts were present in all tumors and the adjacent tissues of tumor and were significantly more obvious in the samples of carcinomas as compared with those of adenomas and in the samples of tumor as co...
