RESUMO

The DNA from various human tumors and tumor cell lines was screened for the presence of mutated ras oncogenes with synthetic oligonucleotide probes, as well as with the NIH/3T3 cell transfection assay. Among the various mutations found we discovered two novel Ki-ras mutations in codon 12: gly to ala and gly to ser. A gastric carcinoma was found to possess a single mutated Ki-ras allele (gly-12 to ser), as well as a 30-50 fold amplified normal allele. This implies that two activating steps must have occurred in this malignancy.
