Abstract excerpt
The availability of p53 knockout mice generated by gene targeting has enabled us to investigate the functional role of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in initiation, promotion, and progression of carcinogenesis in vivo, using mouse skin as a model system. The number, size, and growth rate of benign papillomas were not increased in the p53 heterozygous mice in comparison with wild type. The p53 null mice showed a...
