Abstract excerpt
Using a combination of polymerase chain reaction and single-strand conformation polymorphism techniques (PCR-SSCP) we have analyzed 78 brain tumor samples (70 primary and 8 metastatic) for the presence of mutations in the conserved regions of the Tp53 (tumor p53) gene. We have found that only two...
