A method for specific cloning and sequencing of human hprt cDNA for mutation analysis.

abstract：:The growth and metastasis of tumors depend on angiogenesis. Tumor angiogenesis is initiated by the secretion of growth factors from tumor cells; downstream signals are then triggered in pre-existing blood vessels to sprout a new vascular network. Trichosanthin (TCS) is a type I ribosome-inactivating protein that has a...
