Abstract excerpt
Functional disturbance of p53 tumor suppressor protein contributes to uncontrolled cell growth. Human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 oncoproteins bind to wild-type p53 and abrogate its function. Our objective was to elucidate the relation of aberrant p53 protein expression to HPV DNA and cellular atypia in male genital warts and premalignant lesions. Immunohistochemically detectable p53 protein expression was studied in...
