Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We found a relatively reduced frequency of p53 mutation with a much greater frequency of p53 protein overexpression, which reflected stabilization of p53 protein in the absence of p53 gene mutation. Therefore, we investigated the possibility of alternative mechanisms leading to p53 protein stabilization. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed gene and protein alteration studies on p53 and its upstream...
