Abstract excerpt
Alterations of the p53 gene are among the most frequent genetic lesions in a variety of human malignancies. Their role in prostate cancer is, however, unclear. We have analyzed 10 primary and two metastatic human prostate carcinomas as well as 3 prostate cancer cell lines for mutations of the p53-gene. Using single strand conformational polymorphism analysis (SSCP) and direct sequencing of the polymerase chain...
