Abstract excerpt
The human T-cell leukemia cell line MOLT-4 is highly radiosensitive, and thus it is often used as a model of p53-dependent radiation-induced apoptosis. Two branches of the p53-mediated apoptotic pathway are reported: "transcription-dependent" and "transcription-independent." However, the relative contribution of each in different types of cells is not yet clearly defined. Moreover, recent studies have shown that...
