Abstract excerpt
Mounting genetic evidence suggests that each product of the Ink4a/Arf locus, p16(INK4a) and p19(ARF), possesses tumor-suppressor activity (Kamijo et al., 1997; Krimpenfort et al., 2001; Sharpless et al., 2001a). We report the generation and characterization of a p19(ARF)-specific knockout allele (p19(ARF)-/-) and direct comparison with mice and derivative cells deficient for p16(INK4a), both p16(INK4a) and...
