AID KRAS Kit – Sensitive screening for most frequent KRAS mutations

RDB 2295 KRAS 

The EGFR (Epidermal-Growth-Factor-Receptor) is a central target for colorectal cancer monoclonal antibody
therapy with for example Cetuximab and Panitumumab. However, only a part of the cancer patients respond to this therapy. Somatic mutations in the EGFR downstream pathway can block therapy success, because the signaling pathway is then constitutively active, independent from the EGFR.

Most frequent mutations arise in KRAS gene. Therefor a KRAS mutation analysis of tumor biopsy is a first step for a personalized cancer therapy

AID KRAS Kit enables sensitive screening for most frequent KRAS mutations in exon 2, 3 and 4.
