Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine if transitional cell tumours of the bladder which contain mutations in the p53 gene have alterations in their DNA content. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 33 transitional cell tumours of the bladder, DNA content was determined by flow cytometry and compared with expression of mutant p53 as assessed by immuno-histochemistry. RESULTS: Abnormal DNA content was associated with increased staining for...
