Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the relation between the incidence of radiation-induced tissue abnormalities in fetal brain and the extent of p53-dependent apoptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pregnant mice with wild-type p53(+/+), heterozygous p53(+/-) and homozygous mutant p53(-/-) fetuses received whole-body X-irradiation on day 13 of gestation. The extent of apoptosis 6 hr after irradiation and the incidence of tissue...
