Abstract excerpt
Human carcinoma cell lines are frequently refractory to the antiproliferative effect of the autocrine growth inhibitor transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) and often express mutant forms of the tumor suppressor gene p53. Therefore, we wished to determine whether mutant p53 affects the cellular response to TGF-beta 1. A murine p53 complementary DNA carrying an activating point mutation was introduced...
