DEMO: Checking a possible target in appendix cancer samples
Is one protein common in appendix cancer tumours? A first check.
The story
This is a demo campaign. The patient, researcher and institution are made up.
A fictional patient asked this question, and a fictional charity and researcher turned it into a project. The plan is to stain stored, donated tumour samples to see how often one protein shows up.
The question

How often does Protein B appear in stored appendix cancer samples?
