Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene are the most prevalent genetic alteration observed in a wide variety of human cancers. In this study we examined 63 methylcholanthrene (MCA)-induced sarcomas from C57BL/6N x C3H/HeN F1 (BCF1) or C3H/HeN x C57BL/6N F1 (CBF1) mice for p53 gene mutations and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome 11. Mutation analysis was done on exons 5 to 8 of the p53 gene by...
