Abstract excerpt
Because tumorigenesis frequently involves the dysfunction of cell cycle-related proteins, we examined the effect of mutations in CDK inhibitor p16 and its linked genomic loci p15, cl.B, and 1063.7 on the growth of primary adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) cells. Southern blot analysis of primary ATL cells showed a significantly higher incidence of p16 gene alteration in acute ATL than in chronic ATL [67.7% (23/34) vs....
