Immunohistochemical staining of galectin-3 was performed on 117 primary lesions and 15 liver metastases of colorectal cancer using TIB166 monoclonal antibody.
To evaluate laminin receptor/laminin-binding protein expression in human colon carcinoma, surgical specimens of primary colon cancers and liver metastases were examined by blot hybridization of total RNA with a complementary DNA clone which encodes a Mr 32,000 human laminin-binding protein.
