A novel variant of OCT4, OCT4B1, is highly expressed in pluripotent cells. OCT4B1 is also upregulated in various tumors and cell lines. Here, we have constructed a HA-tagged OCT4B1 construct, which could be translated into an N-terminally tagged protein, detectable by HA antibody. Western blotting r

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and angiomyolipoma (AML), usually unassociated, have occasionally been reported to coexist in the same person, usually in patients with tuberous sclerosis. We report two patients without tuberous sclerosis whose nephrectomy specimens contained renal cell carcinoma directly
