Expression of Cancer Testis Antigens in Colorectal Cancer: New Prognostic and Therapeutic Implications

Figure 1

Real-time PCR (RQ-PCR) expression analysis of three colon cancer cell lines: CL-188, HTB-37, and HTB-39. A panel of 18 CTAs was tested, and their expression was compared with normal colon epithelium (left side). The same CTAs were evaluated after 5-azacytidine treatment at 5 μM for 48 h (right side). The experiment was repeated three times with similar results.
