Abstract excerpt
Using the thyroid as a model of multistep epithelial tumorigenesis, we have used representative cell lines to correlate the degree of malignant transformation with the functional status of p53 and the integrity of cell-cycle check-points. Three distinct phenotypes were observed: Type I lines, derived from poorly-differentiated human thyroid cancers, expressed high levels of mutant p53 protein; Type II, also...
