Expression of the Tumor Susceptibility Gene(TSG101) in Carcinoma of Esophagus, Stomach and Colorectum

Objective To investigate the significance of TSG101 protein expression in human malignant epithelial tumors of digestive tract. Methods TSG0101 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry assay in paraffin-embedded tissues of human esophageal carcinomas, gastric carcinomas and colorectal carcinomas. Results The expression of TSG101 protein was positively detected in 52.0% of 25 esophageal carcinomas, 28.1% of 32 gastric carcinomas and 62.5% of 40 colorectal carcinomas, respectively (P> 0.05 ). And the l...
