Abstract excerpt
It is generally accepted that wild type (growth suppressing) p53 is capable of binding to a consensus DNA sequence and is in a conformation recognizable by antibody PAb246 (for murine p53), but not by antibody PAb240. Conversely, mutant forms of p53 incapable of DNA binding often assume conformations that display the PAb240, but not the PAb246 epitope. Exposure of these two epitopes on p53 is therefore believed...
