Abstract excerpt
Analyses were performed on livers and hepatocellular carcinomas from male Fischer 344 rats fed a choline-devoid diet, to assess whether they carried alterations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene. The analyses consisted of immunoperoxidase staining of tissue sections with monoclonal antibodies to p53, Western blotting and cDNA sequencing. Immunostaining revealed the presence of mutant p53 proteins in 22/27 tumors...
