Abstract excerpt
Genomic DNA from thymus tissue obtained from 47 C57BL/6J animals treated with the DNA alkylating agent N-methylnitrosourea or gamma-irradiation were screened for the presence of p53 mutations by using the single strand conformation polymorphism assay. Mutations were detected in 13% (4 of 30) of primary thymic lymphomas but none of 17 early stage lymphomas. The frequency of p53 mutations was the same in tumors...
