p53 knockout mice have been utilized for the functional analysis of p53 in carcinogenic processes and for the evaluation of the carcinogenic potential of chemicals. In this study, we established that p53 knockout mice have an elevated susceptibility to the induction of histiocytic sarcoma (HS) by N-bis(2-hydroxy-propyl)nitrosamine (BHP). p53 heterozygous (+/-) and wild-type (+/+) mice were treated with 20 or 200...
