Abstract excerpt
Genes whose expression patterns are altered in a cell line immortalized by mutant p53 were isolated by differential screening of a cDNA library. Levels of alpha 1 (I) collagen mRNA were reduced in the majority of immortalized cell lines which greatly overproduced the transfected mutant p53. This may reflect a co-selection during the establishment of the cell lines, rather than a direct effect of p53 on alpha 1...
