Expression and Significance of p53, Rb, p21/waf-1, p16/ink-4a, and PTEN Tumor Suppressors in Canine Melanoma
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
The role of tumor suppressor genes in the pathogenesis of canine melanoma is incompletely understood. The genes encoding the tumor suppressors p53, Rb, p21 (waf-1), p16 (ink-4a), and PTEN have been postulated to contribute to the pathogenesis of melanoma in humans and experimental animal models. To assess whether inactivation of these genes similarly contributes to the origin and progression of canine melanoma,...
