Abstract excerpt
Mutations of p53 tumor suppressor gene have been shown to contribute to tumorigenesis in a variety of human cancers. Normally, p53 protein degrades rapidly and is not detected by immunohistochemical procedure, but mutant p53 and wild-type p53 stabilized by certain viral oncoproteins can accumulate to immunohistochemically demonstrable levels. Conventional pulmonary adenocarcinomas and bronchioalveolar carcinomas,...
