Mos oncogene expression in human ovarian tumors

Anticancer Res. 1991 Jul-Aug;11(4):1629-34.

Abstract

The expression of the mos proto-oncogene was investigated in frozen sections from 15 ovarian adenocarcinomas, 1 seminoma, 1 immature teratoma and 2 benign stromal tumors by in situ RNA/RNA hybridization with a [35S] labeled mos probe. The presence of mos transcripts was detected in one germ cell tumor and three ovarian carcinomas. The putative role of the mos proto-oncogene activation is discussed.
