Abstract excerpt
The p53 gene was examined in a series of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded astrocytic neoplasms of various types by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCP), and direct sequencing of amplified DNA. PCR primers were designed to amplify three DNA fragments encompassing exons 5, 7, and 8 with splice sites, including all four mutational "hot spots" within this gene. SSCP...
