Identical Bands in Superdeformed Nuclei: A Relativistic Description

Relativistic Mean Field Theory in the rotating frame is used to describe superdeformed nuclei. Nuclear currents and the resulting spatial components of the vector meson fields are fully taken into account. Identical bands in neighboring Rare Earth nuclei are investigated and excellent agreement with recent experimental data is observed.Comment: 11 pages (Latex) and 4 figures (available upon request) TUM-ITP-Ko93/

Basal keratin expression in breast cancer by quantification of mRNA and by immunohistochemistry

Definitions of basal-like breast cancer phenotype vary, and microarray-based expression profiling analysis remains the gold standard for the identification of these tumors. Immunohistochemical identification of basal-like carcinomas is hindered with a fact, that on microarray level not all of them express basal-type cytokeratin 5/6, 14 and 17. We compared expression of cytokeratin 5, 14 and 17 in 115 patients with operable breast cancer estimated by real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry
