Abstract excerpt
The status of the p53 gene of tumor cells can modify the sensitivity of the tumors to radiation and anti-cancer agents. Human esophageal cancer cells (T.Tn) bearing mutated p53 gene were retrovirally transduced with wild-type p53 gene. The transduced cells (T.Tn/p53) which stably expressed wild-type p53 proliferated at the same rate as parental cells. However, the sensitivity to radiation was significantly...
