C-erbB-2 Oncoprotein in Gastric Carcinoma: Correlation with Clinical Stage and Prognosis
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the oncogene c-erbB-2 in gastric tumors. Immunohistochemical study of the expression of c-erbB-2 was performed in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections from 82 gastric adenocarcinomas using ...

C-erbB-2 Expression in Primary Breast Cancer
c-erbB-2 is an oncoprotein which is overexpressed in up to 40% of primary breast cancers. c-erbB-2 overexpression is a bad prognostic factor in patients with lymph node-positive disease.

EGF and TGF-β1 effects on thyroid function [PDF]
Normal epithelial thyroid cells in culture are inhibited by TGF-β1. Instead, transformed thyroid cell lines are frequently resistant to its growth inhibitory effect. Loss of TGF-β responsiveness could be due to a reduced expression of TGF-β receptors, as

Selected murine monoclonal antibodies (MAb) have been shown to inhibit relevant tumor growth in vitro and in animal models. Recently, bispecific antibodies (BsMAb) have been developed which target cytolytic effector cells via one antibody binding site ...

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Family and its Role in Gastric Cancer
Despite the gradual decrease in incidence, gastric cancer is still the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Although chemotherapy enhances overall survival and quality of life in advanced disease, the median overall survival is < 12 months ...

A molecular biology and phase II trial of lapatinib in children with refractory CNS malignancies: a pediatric brain tumor consortium study. [PDF]
High expression of ERBB2 has been reported in medulloblastoma and ependymoma; EGFR is amplified and over-expressed in brainstem glioma suggesting these proteins as potential therapeutic targets. We conducted a molecular biology (MB) and phase II study to

c-erbB receptors are usually located in cell membranes and are activated by extracellular binding of EGF-like growth factors. Unexpectedly, using immunofluorescence we found high levels of c-erbB-3 within the nuclei of MTSV1-7 immortalized nonmalignant human mammary epithelial cells.

Sclerostin–erbB-3 interactions: Modulation of erbB-3 activity by sclerostin [PDF]
To gain insights into the mechanism of action of sclerostin, a protein that regulates bone mass, we performed yeast two-hybrid analyses using human SOST (sclerostin) cDNA cloned into pGBKT7 DNA-binding domain vector as a bait, and a normalized, high-complexity, universal cDNA library in a GAL4 activating domain vector.
