Abstract excerpt
The p53 gene is a tumor suppressor that regulates the expression of genes required for cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. Mutations in p53 have been observed in over 60% of all human cancers. Certain classes of mutant p53 proteins maintain some of their activities or acquire novel activities and thus may contribute to the transformed phenotype. By carrying out an analysis of differential gene expression using cDNA...
