Abstract excerpt
To examine the functional role of tumor suppressor p53 in radiosensitivity of glioblastoma multiforme cells, I analyzed radiosensitivity of three glioblastoma cell lines with different p53 statuses: LN444 (wild-type p53), U251MG (mutant R273Q), and LN382 (mutant V197L). The mutant V197L is a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant, of which transcriptional activity is almost normal at 34 degrees C but lost at 37...
