Analysis of p53 tumour suppressor gene somatic mutations in rheumatoid arthritis synovium
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In order to study the role of the p53 tumour suppressor gene in the proliferation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium, we analysed the mutation of p53 in the synovial fibroblast-like type B synoviocyte from RA patients. METHODS: Synovial fibroblast-like type B synoviocytes were prepared from the synovial tissues from nine Japanese patients with RA. The p53 cDNA region from exons 4-11 was screened for...
