Detect ion of MUC1 and GST-P Gene by means of RT-PCR in Axillary Lymph Nodes Taken from Breast Cancer Patients

Objective To study MUC1 and GST π mRNA expression in axillary lymph nodes and its clinical significance. Methods Expression of both MUC1 mRNA and GST π mRNA was detected by RT PCR in 108 histologically negative lymph nodes obtained from 20 breast cancer patients. Results Of 108 lymph nodes,66%/39% were found to express MUC1 mRNA/GST π mRNA.And the positive rates of MUC1 and GST π mRNA in cancer tissues,HE positive lymph nodes and normal breast tissue are 100%/87%,100%/80%,100%/0,respectively. Conclusion E...
