Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of p53 protein resulting in levels detectable by immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been proposed as an indicator of mutation of the p53 gene. We have investigated a panel of 23 fresh-frozen breast cancers by IHC (PAb 1801), Southern and Northern blot analysis, and direct sequencing of the mutation hot spot regions (exons 5-8) of the p53 gene. Three tumors (13%) showed an intense nuclear staining in the...
