High levels of p53 protein expression do not correlate with p53 mutations in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract excerpt

To determine the relationship between p53 altered expression and p53 mutations in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we analysed p53 protein immunohistochemically and assessed the presence of mutations in exons 4-8 of the p53 gene using SSCP assay in 117 HCCs corresponding to 78 patients. We also determined the relationship of p53 expression with cellular proliferation by immunostaining with monoclonal antibodies to...
