This observation is in agreement with the data we obtained from four Finefix-fixed paraffin-embedded (Figure 5A and B) and nine formalin-fixed (Figure 5D and E) human prostate cancer tissues; in almost all the hyperplastic peritumoural and in 10 out of 13 tumour tissue sections, but not in normal prostate tissue sample or in benign hyperplasia, EEF1A2 mRNA was detectable. The gene discussed is EEF1A2; the disease is prostate carcinoma.
