Micro-analysis of adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activities in human mammary tumors
The application of microanalytical techniques was used to elucidate the enzyme profiles of adenylate cyclase and cAMP-dependent protein kinase within a series of malignant and benign human mammary tumors. The methods allow for determination of enzyme activity in histologically-confirmed neoplastic …
