Abstract excerpt
Mutant forms of the p53 gene have been shown to cooperate with an activated ras gene in transforming primary cells in culture. The aberrant proteins encoded by p53 mutants are thought to act in a dominant negative manner in these assays. In vivo data, however, reveal that where p53 has undergone genetic change in tumors, both alleles have been affected. We previously identified a case of human acute myelogenous...
