Abstract excerpt
We report that the expression of murine or human mutant p53 proteins in cells with no endogenous p53 proteins confers new or additional phenotypes upon these cells. Mutant p53 proteins expressed in cell lines lacking p53 resulted in either enhanced tumorigenic potential in nude mice ((10)3 cells) or enhanced plating efficiency in agar cell culture (human SAOS-2 cells). Also, mutant human p53 alleles, unlike the...
