Popis: c- src protein was found in 60% of lung carcinomas (20 of 33 cases or primary tumours) by immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody (Mab 327) and immunohistochemistry with serum from rabbits bearing tumours induced by Rous sarcoma virus. src protein expression was assessed in 4 small cell lung carcinomas and in an atypical carcinoid of neuroendocrine origin. However, pp60 c-src was also found in non-small cell lung carcinomas: in 60–80% of adenocarcinomas and bronchiolo-alveolar cancers and in 50% of squamous cell carcinomas. In the squamous cell carcinomas, src protein was expressed more frequently in poorly differentiated than in well and moderately differentiated carcinomas. Expression of pp60 c-src was not found in epithelial cells of histologically unchanged lung tissues. These results show that pp60 c-src may be activated in human lung carcinomas of different histopathological types.
