Figure 2 Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) analysis of E-cadherin/CDH1 gene in gastric carcinoma. Sodium bisulfite-modified DNA samples were subjected to PCR with specific primers. Existence of methylation was demonstrated by the presence of PCR product (204 bp) rendered by methylated specific primers. M: methylated-specific primer sets; U: unmethylated-specific primer sets.
