Surprisingly, our results showed that protein expression of MYEOV was not detectable in either NSCLC cell lines or tissue samples, whereas the antibody used in the analysis could indeed detect purified recombinant MYEOV protein (Fig. 2a, b), suggesting that there might be a suppressive mechanism that acted to abrogate the translation of the MYEOV gene. Here, MYEOV is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
