Abstract excerpt
Previous immunohistochemical studies on malignant mesothelioma with antibodies recognizing both the wild and the mutant types of the p53 protein have shown immunoreactivity in 25-70% of cases. This study was designed to determine whether there is immunoreactivity for p53 and mdm2 protein in malignant mesothelioma and to correlate p53 expression with the detection of mutations in p53 at DNA level. In 10 of 15...
