Abstract excerpt
The tumour suppressor gene p53, located on the short arm of chromosome 17, encodes for a nuclear protein which regulates cell proliferation by inhibiting cells entering S-phase. p53 mutations are alleged to be the commonest genetic abnormality in human cancer. We studied mutant p53 oncoprotein expression, using PAb1801 monoclonal antibody immunohistochemistry, in 25 'ideal' keratoacanthomas and 26 well-, 19...
