Radiosensitivity in breast cancer assessed by the histone γ-H2AX and 53BP1 foci
24 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: High expression of constitutive histone γ-H2AX, a sensitive marker of DNA damage, might be indicative of defective DNA repair pathway or genomic instability. 53BP1 (p53-binding protein 1) is a conserved checkpoint protein with properties of a DNA double-strand breaks sensor. This study explores the relationship between the clinical radiosensitivity of tumor patients and the expression/induction of...
