Abstract excerpt
Alterations in the p53 tumor-suppressor gene have been identified in a variety of human malignancies, including renal-cell cancer. A technique for the isolation of tumor areas from tissue specimens to analyze formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tumors and try to avoid a disturbance of the results due to genetic background signal by the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, was established. The presence of...
