Abstract excerpt
A strategy and methods for archival analysis of genetic and protein alterations in the p53 tumor-suppressor gene are presented. The tumor series includes 43 paraffin-embedded esophageal carcinomas from two high-incidence regions in the People's Republic of China. More than half contained elevated p53 protein levels which were detected by a high-titer polyclonal antiserum and a sensitive immunohistochemical...
