Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the levels of p53 protein in 10 frozen astrocytoma specimens by using an ELISA kit. p53 protein was detected in seven of ten specimens, and ranged from 0.4 to 18.0ng/ml. To confirm that the p53 protein detected in this study actually represented mutations occurring within the p53 gene, we determined the nucleotide sequence in five of six positive cases, and in three of four negative cases. We...
