PCR-mismatch analysis of p53 gene mutation in Hodgkin's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Expression of the p53 protein can be detected by immunohistochemistry in Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells, the presumed neoplastic component of Hodgkin's disease (HD) lesions. At present, there is no clear molecular evidence that p53 positive immunostaining in HD correlates with the presence of mutations or other structural alterations of the p53 gene. To address this question, 49 cases of HD have been investigated for...
