Abstract excerpt
Recent data suggest that aberrant function of the wild type p53 protein (WTp53) may alter cellular survival following DNA damage through cellular pathways involving apoptosis and cell-cycle checkpoints, but little is known concerning it's possible role in DNA repair. In the present study, the ionizing radiation sensitivity was determined for a series of rat embryo fibroblast (REF) cell lines transfected with an...
