In order to examine expression of p73 proteins in established cell lines and primary medulloblastoma samples, we employed monoclonal (GC-15) and polyclonal (H-79) antibodies, which recognize full-length TAp73 and amino-truncated ΔNp73 [33], and a ΔNp73-specific monoclonal antibody (IMG-313) (Figure 2A–B, see Additional file 2). This evidence concerns the gene TP73 and medulloblastoma.
