Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The relationship between p53 functions and cellular thermosensitivity was evaluated using murine fibroblasts transfected with either wild-type p53 or mutated p53, or those with a null p53 genotype. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Cellular thermosensitivity was determined using the clonogenic assay. Cell cycle distribution was assayed by determining DNA content using flow cytometry. Apoptosis was analyzed by...
