Abstract:<div>Abstract<p><b>Purpose:</b> Overexpression of the receptor tyrosine kinase Axl is implicated in several cancers. Therefore, we conducted this study to determine the expression of Axl and its ligand Gas6 in various renal cell carcinoma (RCC) types and in oncocytoma.</p><p><b>Experimental Design:</b> Real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR was used to quantify tumor mRNA levels for Axl and Gas6 in a cohort (<i>n</i> = 221) of RCC patients. … Show more
