The oncoprotein STP-C-488 induces salivary gland and thymic epithelial tumours when expressed as a transgene in mice (MURPHY et al. 1994). Given the enigmatic tumorigenesis of corresponding tumours in humans, we now investigated genomic DNA and RNA from 11 thymomas, 5 pleomorphic adenomas and control autopsy material (n = 8) for the occurrence of the STP-C-488 sequences by Southern-blotting, Northern-blotting and PCR.
