Figure 1
Analysis of p16INK4 promotor methylation on ABI310 Prism. Methylated (left arrow) and unmethylated (right arrow) signals can be detected between the 150-bp and the 160-bp ROX matrix standards. There is a near-equal amplification of unmethylated and methylated DNA in the three head and neck tumors but no methylation in the blood DNA of the patient; bl = blood DNA; tu1–tu3 = tumors 1–3, respectively.
