Abstract excerpt
CDKN2A is a melanoma susceptibility gene that is mutated and/or deleted in familial and sporadic melanoma as well as in a range of other tumors. It encodes a cell cycle regulator, p16, whose function is to inhibit activity of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6. We set out to investigate the effect of reintroducing CDKN2A into MM96L, a melanoma cell line that does not express p16, by electroporation of wt CDKN2A...
