Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Effective heat-induced cell death in cultured cells bearing a mutant p53 (mp53) gene was sought by glycerol treatment which led to conformational change from mp53 to wild-type p53 (wtp53) in p53-null murine fibroblasts transfected with mp53. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Heat sensitivity was measured using a colony-forming assay. For heat-induced apoptosis, gel electrophoresis was applied to detect DNA...
