Oncogene protein detection may be a valuable molecular epidemiological marker of commitment to the carcinogenic pathway in worker populations exposed to carcinogens. This paper reports the use of serum immunoblotting with monoclonal antibodies to oncogene proteins to screen hazardous waste workers with potential carcinogen exposure who employ state-of-the-art work practices and personal protective equipment to minimize real exposures. Two individuals in this cohort were found to be trace positive for the ras oncogene protein in their serum, but this may have been due to their cigarette smoking. These results are contrasted to previous results in hazardous waste workers with real workplace carcinogen exposures.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 March 1998.
All research outputs
#7,633,035
of 34,517,649 outputs
Outputs from Occupational medicine
#685
of 2,477 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#7,096
of 76,419 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Occupational medicine
#2
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,517,649 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,477 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 76,419 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 8 of them.
