Abstract excerpt
We recently reported the detection of a heterozygous G-->C point mutation at codon 280 of p53 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which causes an Arg-->Thr substitution. To test whether this mutant p53 has gained function as an oncogene, we overexpressed the mutant p53 in nontumorigenic cells of two model systems: (i) human Saos-2 cells lacking endogenous p53 and (ii) mouse JB6 variants that bear endogenous wild-type...
