Abstract excerpt
p21WAF1/Cip1 is a recently identified gene involved in cell cycle regulation through cyclin-CDK-complex inhibition. The expression of this gene in several cell lines seems to be induced by wild-type, but not mutant, p53. p21WAF1/Cip1 expression has been studied at both mRNA and protein levels in...
