Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the p53 suppressor gene are involved in carcinogenesis by inactivating p53 protein (p53P), which is involved in normal cell growth control. Mutant p53P, detectable by immunohistochemistry due to longer half-life as compared to wild-type, is a marker for p53 gene mutation. Seventy-fou...
