Abstract excerpt
We studied the increasing expression of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in Sprague-Dawley rats, chemically induced to develop colon cancer. p53 expression was evaluated histochemically at various stages of tumor progression (during a period of 40 weeks) that can be followed by colonic hyperproliferation labeled by 3H-thymidine incorporation. We found that high level nuclear expression of p53 protein correlates with...
