Abstract excerpt
Testicular teratocarcinomas never contain p53 gene mutations even though these tumors express high levels of nuclear p53 protein. We have characterized two murine teratocarcinoma cell lines and find no evidence that endogenous p53-regulated genes are correspondingly upregulated. Differentiation of these teratocarcinoma cells with retinoic acid results in a marked decrease in p53 protein levels but is accompanied...
