Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of the p 53 gene mutation in breast carcinoma tumour cells, leads to the accumulation of mutant p 53 protein types, whose consequence is the loss of the negative regulation normally exercised by the p 53 gene, which is considered to act as a tumour suppressor. It is possible to demonstrate the presence of mutant p 53 protein types in tumour cell nuclei by applying immunohistochemical procedures to...
