Abstract excerpt
The wild type p53 protein has a short half-life and cannot be detected by immunohistochemistry on tissue sections. Mutated p53, on the other hand, has a prolonged half-life and becomes detectable by this method, so that its detection by immunohistochemistry in solid tumors is almost synonymous with mutation. We assessed the value of immunocytochemical analysis of p53 protein on blood or bone marrow slides in the...
