Abstract excerpt
To analyse the effect of p53 on liver tumor development, we generated transgenic mice overexpressing wild-type p53 in the liver and crossed them with transgenic mice in which the expression of the SV40 large T antigen (TAg) induces hepatic tumors. Remarkably, whereas preneoplastic TAg liver exhibited anisocaryosis and anisocytosis, TAg/p53 liver never presented any dysplastic cells. Moreover, whereas expression...
