Abstract excerpt
We investigated mutations of the Tp53 tumor suppressor gene (formerly known as p53) in the lung tumors induced in rats after inhalation of plutonium dioxide ((239)PuO(2)) aerosols. Exons 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the Tp53 gene were examined for mutations by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified fragments and direct sequencing analysis. Almost all the mutations...
