Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene constitute one of the most frequent molecular changes in a wide variety of human cancers, including those in the esophagus. Mice deficient in p53 have recently attracted attention for their potential to identify chemical genotoxins. In this study we investigated the susceptibility of p53 nullizygous (-/-), heterozygous (+/-) and wild-type (+/+) mice to...
