Dr. Gaboury then became interested in developing molecular tools to assay the overexpression of the HER-2 oncogene. |
Mammary tumors were created in the mice in response to the polyoma virus middle T antigen, a well-studied oncogene product. |
An oncogene is a gene that can turn a normal cell into a tumour cell. |
This patent would apply both to the mouse itself and all of its offspring that contain the oncogene. |
One of the key signalling receptor in asymmetric cell division is the oncogene and tumor supressor Notch. |
The researchers first discovered the fusion protein acts like an oncogene, or cancer-causing gene, that can promote unrestricted cell growth. |
