Abstract excerpt
Immunohistochemically detectable p53 protein expression is common in the Reed-Sternberg and Hodgkin's (RS-H) cells of Hodgkin's disease, but p53 gene mutations have only rarely been identified. The authors found p53 expression in RS-H cells in 16 of 30 cases of Hodgkin's disease (53%), with the p...
