Abstract excerpt
We analysed 31 non-glioblastoma astrocytomas for alterations in p53 protein expression and for mutations in the p53 gene. Immunohistochemistry detected p53 protein accumulation in 71% (five of seven) of juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas (WHO grade I), 63% (five of eight) of astrocytomas (WHO grade II), and 63% (10 of 16) of anaplastic astrocytomas (WHO grade III). The single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP)...
