Abstract excerpt
The hypothesis that p53 deficiency enhances the survival of DNA-damage bearing cells was investigated in wild-type and p53 mutant embryonic stem (ES) cells. Following UV-C irradiation, p53 is rapidly induced in wild-type cells and p53-dependent apoptosis follows within 8 h, resulting in the death of the majority of cells within 36 h. Increasing doses of UV-irradiation resulted in enhanced clonogenic survival of...
