BC200 RNA, PROBES THEREFOR AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The 3'-end of BC200 RNA, commencing at nucleotide 159 has the sequence: UAAGCGUAAC UUCCCUCAAA GCAACAACCC CCCCCCCCCU UU 42, [SEQ ID NO 2]. Oligonucleotide probes in accordance with the invention are complementary to at least a portion of this sequences such that they bind specifically and selectively to human BC200 RNA. The probes are useful in determining the distribution of BC200 RNA in the body and as an indicator of neoplastic diseases in non-neuronal tissue. 00000
