Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The p53 gene encompasses 16 to 20 kb of DNA on the short arm of human chromosome 17. It encodes for a 393-amino acid nuclear phosphoprotein involved in cell-cycle control. Loss of normal p53 function is associated with cell transformation in vitro and development of neoplasms in vivo. During the past few years, the dramatic progress in the molecular biology of p53 has raised the exciting prospect for...
