- Abstract
We have shown in a previous study that the expression of an as yet unidentified, embryonic gene (nov) encoding a potential IGF binding protein was upregulated in all of eight virally-induced avian nephroblastomas tested. We now report that homologous sequences are conserved in human DNA and are expressed in normal human bone marrow, thymic cells and in one nephroblastoma.
