Abstract excerpt
Gene amplification occurs at high frequency in transformed cells (10(-3)-10(-5)), but is undetectable in normal diploid fibroblasts (less than 10(-9)). This study examines whether alterations of one or both p53 alleles were sufficient to allow gene amplification to occur. Cells retaining one wild-type p53 allele mimicked the behavior of primary diploid cells: they arrested growth in the presence of drug and...
