abstract：:Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a cytokine that is thought to promote melanoma tumour progression. We evaluated and adapted a non-radioactive, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method for semiquantitative analysis of IL-8 mRNA expression. Using this technique we studied the regulation of IL-8 levels in the melan...
