Due to the low amount of tumour material available for the present analysis, we decided to apply a „SMART “protocol (switching mechanism at 5′-end of RNA template; Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.). For synthesis of the first strand, between 60 and 170 ng of tumour RNA, prepared according to a modified guanidinium thiocyanate method [18], using selective binding properties of a silica gel described by Marquardt et al.[19](Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was used following the instructions of the supplier. A longdistance PCR, as described by Clontech, was carried out in a thermal cycler comprising 60 s at 95 C, followed by 5 s at 95 C, 5 s at 65 C, 6 min at 68 C for 24 cycles. After 15, 18, 21 and 24 cycles, 5 µl of the reaction mixture was subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis to determine an adequate cycle number. This procedure was followed by a conventional PCR using 45 cycles of 30 s at 95 C, 30 s at 56 C, and 60 s at 72 C. The PCR amplification products comprised sequences of 280 bp for codon T 308 and 189 bp for codon T 473 of PKB/AKT. The amplification products were monitored by agarose gel electrophoresis for purity and expected length (Fig. 1). The specificity of amplification was checked by
