Abstract excerpt
Mice constitutively lacking alleles of the p53 tumour suppressor gene spontaneously develop lymphomas and sarcomas. We report here that a single dose of 4 Gy radiation dramatically decreases the latency for tumour development in p53 heterozygous mice. The pattern of genetic alterations at the remaining wild type allele in these tumours differs substantially from spontaneous tumours from similar mice indicating...
