Abstract excerpt
We have examined 35 epidermal tumors induced in mice of four different strains by chronic exposure to ultraviolet B radiation for the presence of aberrations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene. Polymerase chain reaction products from p53 exons 5 to 8 were screened by single-strand conformation poly...
