Abstract excerpt
Mutated p53 genes are capable of complementing activated ras genes in the transformation of primary rat embryo fibroblasts in vitro. Mutations in both genes have also been found in several human cancers, including lung carcinomas. We generated transgenic mice containing a p53 construct with a missense mutation in exon 5 (ala135val) to study the role of p53 mutations in lung tumorigenesis, and to facilitate...
