Abstract excerpt
In a total of 26 primary human lung tumors and 60 metastases derived from them, exons 5-8 of the p53 tumor suppressor gene were analyzed by single-strand conformation polymorphism and subsequent direct DNA sequencing of amplified DNA. Mutational inactivation of the p53 gene was identified in four of five squamous cell carcinomas, three of nine adenocarcinomas, and two of nine small-cell carcinomas, the overall...
