Abstract excerpt
The mutational status of the tumor suppressor gene TP53 is often examined by immunohistochemistry. We compared the incidence of TP53 mutations in 12 permanent squamous cell carcinoma lines of the head and neck with the immunohistochemical staining obtained with two different antibodies. The mutational status of the TP53 gene was assessed by sequencing the complete coding frame of the TP53 mRNA. All 12 tumor cell...
