A comparative study of detection of p53 mutations in human breast cancer by flow cytometry, single-strand conformation polymorphism and genomic sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

The accuracy of immunodetection by dual parameter flow cytometry (FCM), polymerase chain reaction-mediated single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and genomic sequencing to detect p53 mutations were compared. Analysis by the last two techniques was restricted to exons 5-8. Initially, 110 breast tumours were screened for p53 expression by FCM. Seventy (64%) of tumours were immunopositive. Fifteen highly...
