Abstract excerpt
The development of Friend virus induced murine erythroleukaemia is associated with specific genetic events. One of these events is loss of wild type p53 expression, which can occur by internal deletion or proviral insertion in the p53 gene and by single point mutations in the coding sequence. In all cases, the corresponding wild type allele is absent. The high frequency of observed p53 mutations strongly suggests...
