Oncogenes and Overactive EGF Receptors

Oncogenes and Overactive EGF Receptors
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: An oncogene. In this section of human breast tissue, phosphorylated
EGF receptor is stained brown. Normal cells are the ones with lighter staining. The
heavily stained cells have formed a neoplasm; the abnormal overabundance of the
phosphorylated EGF receptor means that mitosis is being continually stimulated in
these cells. The EGF receptor is overproduced or overactive in most neoplasms.
