Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) PCR-amplified products of TERT promoter from conjunctival SCC cases (M, DNA size marker). (b) Schematic representation showing the translation (ATG) start site, transcription start site, and known hotspot mutations in TERT promoter (the region highlighted in red) (c) Wild-type chromatogram of the promoter region of TERT from normal skin obtained by Sanger sequencing. (d and e) Sequence chromatograms showing the wild-type sequence. (f and g) The mutations c.-146C>T (C250T; Chr.5: 1295250C>T) and c.-124C>T (C228T; Chr.5:1295228C>T) identified in TERT promoter locus in conjunctival SCC cases
Article Snippet: After cooling, the slides were washed using TBS (pH 7.5) and then incubated for 20 min with 0.3%-v/v H 2 O 2 , followed by incubation with primary monoclonal antibodies against human TERT (A-6, SCBT, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) at a dilution of 1:50 and were processed using the UltravisionQuanto detection system (Thermo Scientific, Fermont CA, USA).
