Recurrence or metastasis of HCC: predictors, early detection and experimental antiangiogenic therapy

Figure 1 Electrophoresis analysis of RT-PCR product samplified from cDNA obtained from HCC and nontumorous liver tissues. M, DNA m arker (PGEM-7ZF(+)/Hae-III); T, tumor; N, nontumorous liver tissues. The positive bands of 417 bp, 490 bp, and 121 bp represent VEGF165, VEGF189, and β₂-MG, respectively.

Figure 2 Electrophoresis analysis of RT-PCR product s from cDNA obtained from peripheral venous blood of patients with HCC. M, DNA marker (PGEM-7ZF(+)/Hae-III). Lane 1, lane 3, and lane 4 showed positive bands for AFP (176 bp). All lanes showed positive bands for β₂-MG (121 bp).
