1. Nested RT-PCR of Mammaglobin and CK19 mRNA in plasma and circulating cells of controls (C) and patients (T) with breast cancer.
Nested RT-PCR of Mammaglobin and CK19 mRNA in plasma and circulating cells of controls (C) and patients (T) with breast cancer. The figure shows two patients (T1 and T2) with at least one positive marker and similar results in plasma and cell. One patient (T4) showed a positive mRNA marker only in plasma, and patient T5 had different positive mRNA markers in plasma and cell samples. β-actin shows that all samples had detectable plasma and circulating cell RNA.
