Abstract excerpt
We have developed a fluorescence-based single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method that offers fast and sensitive screening for mutations in exons 5-8 of the human p53 gene. The method uses an ABI 377 DNA sequencer for unique color detection of each strand, plus accurate alignment of lanes for better detection of mobility shifts. To validate the method, 21 cell lines with reported mutations in p53 exons...
