Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Conflicting reports have been published with regard to the relationship between the efficacy of p53 gene therapy and the p53 status of gliomas. In this study, we evaluated whether U-87MG glioma cells harboring wild-type p53 and U251 and U-373MG glioma cells harboring mutated p53 demonstrate different sensitivities to p53-induced apoptosis. In addition, we tested whether transduction of Bax or...
