Figure 1From: Pituitary tumor-transforming gene expression is a prognostic marker for tumor recurrence in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck Expression of PTTG mRNA in HNSCC tumor samples. Total RNA (2 μg) underwent electrophoresis, transferred to positively charged nylon membranes and probed with PTTG specific probe (TA = T2N0M0/no recurrence, TB = T4N1M0/recurrence, TC = T3N2M0/no recurrence, TD = T2N0M0/recurrence, N indicates the corresponding normal tissue). Bottom of panel (a) shows the corresponding β-Actin signal after stripping and re-hybridization procedure. (b) Distribution of normalized PTTG expression levels in all (n = 89) analyzed tumor samples.Back to article page
