Abstract excerpt
In chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) cells, functional impairment of the p53 pathway is detectable by Western blotting as impaired up-regulation of p21 (a transcriptional target of p53) in response to ionizing radiation (IR). The type A defect is characterized by baseline p53 overexpression and is associated with TP53 mutation. The type B defect is characterized by impaired IR-induced p53 up-regulation and is...
