    • PurposeThe purpose of this study was to examine breast tumors and normal breast tissues for the expression of the glycoprotein lacritin. The mRNA and protein expression of lacritin has been reported to be restricted to the lacrimal gland.MethodsWe investigated 37 human primary invasive breast tumors, seven breast cancer cell lines and 16 normal breast tissues by quantitative real-time PCR for lacritin expression.ResultsWe detected lacritin transcipts in 51% (19/37) of the primary invasive… CONTINUE READING
