Abstract excerpt
On the basis of reports linking mutant p53 (mp53) to decreased expression of the angiogenesis inhibitor thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and increased angiogenesis, we compared primary and metastatic melanoma tumor specimens to determine if these factors were associated with metastatic progression. Western blotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and image analysis (IA) techniques were employed to evaluate the relationship...
