Abstract excerpt
The p53-regulated gene product p21 (sdi1,cip1,waf1) negatively regulates cell growth and has been suggested to be a potential tumour-suppressor gene. To determine the sites and types of mutations which inactivate the growth-arresting activity in sdi1 cDNA, plasmids containing sdi1 cDNA and the neomycin-resistant gene were irradiated with UV light and transfected into CHO cells. The UV irradiation increased number...
