Abstract excerpt
p53 is a negative regulator of cell growth. The majority of human tumors express mutant p53 proteins, which can be distinguished from wild-type by their immuno-reactivity to a panel of conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies, such as PAb421, PAb1620 and PAb246. Wild-type p53 has sequence-spec...
