RT PCR analysis was performed to quantify the expression of MRP2 mRNA in surgically removed specimens from 26 representative cases, including 16 with NACT and 10 without NACT.
In this paper, a novel mixing-plane method was proposed, and three representative test cases including a transonic compressor, a highly-loaded centrifugal compressor and a high-pressure axial turbine were performed for validation purpose.
This search yielded a multitude of putative TtrA proteins from which representative cases were included in the phylogenetic reconstruction.
Recent cases include William Eiseman, Michael Carsey, Adolph Osbeck and Bobby Hadid.

The main strengths of our study are the large sample size and the representative nature of the cases included.
Our sample had a representative range of clinical cases, including patients diagnosed with AJCC stage 0 to stage 4, those with or without previous surgery, metastases, and a history of chemo/radiotherapy.
Still, even if the controls are representative for the general population, cases included are not consecutive but constitute a cohort genetically enriched for risk alleles.
The contribution of pathologists Carlos Lopes, MD, PhD, Eduardo Ferreira, MD, Isabel Gomez, MD, Lígia Castro, MD, Macedo Dias, MD, Olinda Lima, MD, Silva Caspurro, MD, and Vicente Gonçalves, MD, PhD, which kindly provided representative tumor samples from some cases included in this study, is greatly acknowledged.
Three other cases, including one filed by Representative John Conyers Jr., Democrat of Michigan, are pending.
The cases included were selected to have sufficient representative tissues for evaluation following comprehensive neuropathologic review based on the current World Health Organization classification.
