<p>The present invention relates to methods for the detection of EGFRvIII nucleic acid molecules. In particular, the present invention relates to PCR based methods for the detection of EGFRvIII in biological samples. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to detection kits for detecting EGFRvIII in biological samples. The present invention allows to specifically identify expression of EGFRvIII nucleic acid molecules, in particular, of EGFRvIII RNA in individuals. Said methods and kits are particularly useful to determine and identify precancerous or cancerous lesions at early stages in individuals suspected to have cancer.</p> |
