Abstract excerpt
We have examined whether the tumour suppressor p53 protein suppressed UV-induced mutations in the hypoxathine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) gene and in the supF gene of the shuttle vector plasmid pMY189. We used human osteosarcoma Saos-LP12 cells, in which wild type (wt) p53 protein was induced by treatment with isopopyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside. The induction of wt p53 protein suppressed...
