Specific increase of human kallikrein 4 mRNA and protein levels in breast cancer stromal cells.

abstract：:We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect c-myc RNA subspecies in human COLO 320DM tumor cells. Although the FISH procedure removed the majority of RNAs from the nucleolus, c-myc RNA continued to be detected in both the nucleoplasm and nucleolus. This finding suggests stable association between c-myc...
