Abstract excerpt
We examined samples of tumors of human breast, ovary, and colon of various degrees of malignancy for the expression of p53 protein, using a panel of anti-p53 antibodies and peroxidase immunohistochemistry. Of 66 tumor cases (24 cases of ovarian carcinoma, 23 cases of colon adenocarcinoma, and 19 cases of breast carcinoma), 36 (53%) showed high levels of expression of p53 using a human-specific antibody, and 16...
