摘要: Background Topoisomerase I (Top1) is a proven target for cancer therapeutics. Recent data from the Fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, CPT-11: Use and Sequencing (FOCUS) trial demonstrated that nuclear staining of Top1 correlates with chemotherapeutic efficacy. Such correlation may help identify patients likely to respond inhibitors illuminate their mechanism action. Cellular response complex, but engagement necessary first step in this process. This paper reports development validation quantitative immunoassay tumors.
