Figure 5From: The placental specific gene, PLAC1, is induced by the Epstein-Barr virus and is expressed in human tumor cellsComparison of PLAC1 expression in matched primary tissue from breast cancer patients. RNAs from tumor or adjacent normal tissue were analyzed by real time RT-PCR using primer set 1, primer set 2 and the two control genes, mATPsy6 and RNASE T2. Values represent expression in tumor RNA vs. corresponding normal adjacent tissue. GAPDH was excluded as a control because previous studies have shown a correlation between GAPDH expression and breast cancer aggressiveness [23, 24].Back to article page
