Exon 1 disruption alters tissue-specific expression of mouse p53 and results in selective development of B cell lymphomas.

Abstract excerpt

p53 is a tumor suppressor gene mutated in >50% of human cancers, while p53 deficiency in mice results in cancers and accelerated mortality. Thymic T cell lymphoma is the most common malignancy in p53-deficient mice, making it difficult to study the role of p53 in other malignancies. To overcome this limitation, we attempted to generate mice with a reversible p53 knockout (p53(rev/rev)) by inserting a floxed...
