Abstract excerpt
Xiphophorus interspecies hybrids provide several well-characterized genetic models of melanoma susceptibility. The Xiphophorus CDKN2A/B gene, homologous to mammalian CDKN2A/B cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (p16 and p15), is a candidate tumor susceptibility gene in these models. Using real-time PCR and Western blot analysis, we analyzed expression of CDKN2A/B in spontaneous and UV-induced primary melanomas...
