Correlation of c-erbB-2, EGF and EGFR expression with postoperative survival of patients with advanced carcinoma of the stomach. [PDF]
The c-erbB-2 (HER-2/neu), EGF and EGFR (erbB-1) proteins, members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family, play a role in cell growth by binding to cell membrane receptors.

Helicobacter pylori infection and expressions of EGF, EGFR and c-erbB-2 proteins in gastric carcinoma. [PDF]
The family of epidermal growth factor (EGF, EGFR, c-erbB-2) plays a pivotal role in gastric cancer progression, invasion and metastasizing. Helicobacter pylori infection is known to contribute significantly to the formation and progression of gastric ...

Molecular markers (c-erbB-2, p53) in breast cancer. [PDF]
The aim of our study was to evaluate the correlation between clinical characteristics, histopatologic features and c-erbB-2 as well as p53 expression in cancer tissues. Breast cancer tissue was obtained from 184 female subjects with primary breast cancer.

c-Myb Repression of c- erbB-2 Transcription by Direct Binding to the c- erbB-2 Promoter [PDF]
The c-myb proto-oncogene product (c-Myb) is a transcriptional activator that can bind to the specific DNA sequences. Although c-Myb also represses an artificial promoter containing the Myb binding sites, natural target genes transcriptionally repressed by c-Myb have not been identified.

Metastatic cancer cells from c-erbB-2 negative primary breast cancer maintain the original c-erbB-2/HIF1α phenotype [PDF]
The expression of c-erbB-2 and HIF1alpha proteins is linked with an aggressive tumor phenotype and poor survival in breast cancer. In the present study we investigated whether this ominous effect is a result of c-erbB-2/HIF1alpha expressing clone appearance within the primary tumor, by examining the c-erbB-2/HIF1alpha expression status in the primary ...

C-erbB-2 immunostaining: problems with interpretation. [PDF]
AIMS--To assess the consistency and reproducibility of assessment of c-erbB-2 immunostaining, and to examine some of the problems relating to inter- and intraobserver variability in the documentation of positive staining; to profile the spectrum of cytoplasmic and membranous staining in a wide range of tumour types.
