Research Abstract |
To understand the physiological function of prion protein(PrP), the expression level of PrP gene was investigated using various tumors transplanted in the nude mouse and tenascin C deficient nude mouse, respectively. PrP gene expression levels were varied in the implanted cancer cells. This study provided the information necessary to elucidate a link between PrP function and cancer cell surviving.
