Next, we investigated the correlation of the two proteins in the tumor tissues of patients with lung and colon cancers by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining after checking the validity of KRAS and DX2 antibodies31 for immunostaining (Supplementary Fig. 2d), and found a positive correlation between DX2 and KRAS, as observed in cancer cell analysis (Fig. 1g). Here, KRAS is linked to cancer.
