Mouse monoclonal antibody [ORP185] to ErbB2Amplification of the human protooncogene c-neu occurs in approximately 30% of breast carcinomas and the amplification may be a useful predictor of disease prognosis. Gene amplification and the resulting overexpression of protooncogene encoded proteins is thought to transform cells by chronically stimulating signal transduction pathways and in model systems overexpression of human c-neu induces cellular transformation. In the rat model system, a point mutation has been located within the transmembrane domain of the c-neu oncogene. |
