Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumor suppressor protein plays an important role in regulating the cellular response to DNA damage, including cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction. Normal p53 function is critical for the maintenance of genomic stability. The mouse lymphoma L5178Y/TK(+/-)-3.7.2C cell line is widely used in genetic toxicology for mutagenesis and clastogenesis testing. A related line L5178Y-R, has previously been shown...
