Protein was extracted from the frozen tissues, and western blot analyses were performed. Nonneoplastic and abnormal tissues from each body region were run on the same blot, and blots were run in triplicate.

The reason for the potential benefit of COX-2 inhibitors in horses and other species is unknown. Further research needs to be performed to evaluate the efficacy of COX-2 inhibitors as cancer treatments in horses. Investigation of the mechanisms of tumor development in horses should be performed to increase understanding of this disease and ascertain how the mechanisms differ from those in other animals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.68.1.76","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,2]],"date-time":"2007-01-02T19:30:22Z","timestamp":1167766222000},"page":"76-80","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Expression
