Abstract excerpt
Independent mutations in both alleles of the p53 tumor suppressor gene are a frequent finding in human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cell lines and in the cells of some T-ALL patients in relapse. One major goal of studying the status of p53 (and other tumor suppressor genes) in human cancer is to facilitate the suppression of the tumorigenic phenotype through the restoration of the expression of the...
