Abstract excerpt
Many studies have shown that an alteration of p53 affects various cellular responses to DNA damage after treatment with ionizing radiation. The human lymphoblast cell WTK1, which contains a mutant p53 (ile237), is 10-fold hypermutable at the thymidine kinase (tk) locus compared with TK6 cells, which are from the same donor but contain wild-type p53. These results implied that the specific p53 mutation found in...
