The oncogenic roles of p53 mutants in mouse models.

Abstract excerpt

Tumors associated with p53 usually contain missense mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene rather than deletions of p53, suggesting a growth advantage for cells with missense mutations. The oncogenic roles of p53 mutants have been examined extensively in cell lines. Mouse models that inherit p53 mutations expressed at physiological levels have now been generated to examine the activities of mutant p53 upon...
