Kit Receptor Expression in Canine Cutaneous Mast Cell Tumors (CMCTs) Without C-Kit Mutation

Histopathological examination, grading, immunohistochemical staining and molecular genetic examinations are the proposed criteria that should be used for cutaneous mast cell tumors (CMCTs) classification. The presence of aberrant CD117 expression and mutations of the c-kit proto-oncogene could be an...
