Abstract excerpt
To establish whether p53 mutation precedes or follows clonal divergence in human colorectal carcinomas, 17 tumours were analysed at multiple sites (2-5 each) for single-strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCP) within exons 5-8 of the p53 gene. A previous study had demonstrated subclones of differing DNA ploidy in these tumours, but all showed immunocytochemical evidence for p53 stabilisation, using the monoclonal...
