Abstract excerpt
p53 tumour suppressor gene expression was estimated immunohistochemically using DO-1 monoclonal antibody (recognising both wild-type and mutant p53 in 88 human renal tumours. Single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of possible mutations within exons 4-8 of the p53 gene was performed in 29 of the tumours (mostly immunostaining-positive cases). Obviously elevated p53 content was detected with DO-1...
