Literature reports of the expression of CCK2R as determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC), binding of radiolabeled ligands (ligand binding) or presence of mRNA (PCR/northern blot) are summarized. The percentages of samples positive for CCK2R in the literature are shown in the final three columns. The percentages of samples positive for CCK2R in our IHC studies are shown in the first column.
