Abstract excerpt
In many different types of tumors in man and mouse, p53 is the tumor suppressor gene most frequently affected by a combination of somatic mutation and loss of the wildtype allele. In order to develop a molecular tool to study the genetic evolution of tumors in the dog, we have cloned an evolutionary conserved part of the canine homologue of p53. The isolated genomic segment, 534 bp in length, contains the 3' half...
