Abstract excerpt
Nullizygous p53 knockout (p53(-/-)) mice are highly susceptible to spontaneous tumorigenesis, in particular malignant lymphomas at an early age. Heterozygous p53 knockout (p53(+/-)) mice develop spontaneous tumors less frequently but may show increased susceptibility to chemical carcinogens. In this study, p53(-/-), p53(+/-), and p53 wild-type (p53(+/+)) mice were treated with N-methylnitrosourea (MNU) by gastric...
