Method of identifying pancreatic ductal carcinoma-specific gene using pancreatic ductal cells, method of testing for pdc using said genes, and method of screening pharmaceutical candidate compounds for treating or preventing pdc

摘要

A method for identifying a pancreatic ductal carcinoma-specific gene made up of the steps of: a) preparing pancreatic ductal cells from a pancreatic ductal carcinoma patient and a normal individual; b) detecting the gene expression in the pancreatic ductal cells prepared from the pancreatic ductal carcinoma patient and the gene expression in the pancreatic ductal cells prepared from the normal individual; c) comparing the gene expression in the pancreatic ductal cells prepared from the pancreatic ductal carcinoma patient with the gene expression in the pancreatic ductal cells prepared from the normal individual; and d) identifying a gene specifically expressed in the pancreatic ductal carcinoma patient and a gene specifically expressed in the normal individual.
