Abstract excerpt
p21WAF1/CIP1 is a downstream effector of the p53 tumor suppressor gene and a universal cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor. To determine the ability of p21WAF1/CIP1 to function as a tumor suppressor, we constructed a replication-defective adenovirus vector containing p21WAF1/CIP1 (Adp21WAF1/CIP1) to effect ectopic overexpression in a p53-defective human astrocytoma cell line, U-373MG. We observed a marked...
