Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet (UV) light has been associated with the development of human non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). Such cancers often exhibit mutations in the p53 tumour suppressor gene. In order to determine the UV-induced p53 mutation spectrum, a yeast expression vector that harbours a human wild-type p53 cDNA was UV-irradiated in vitro and transfected into a yeast strain that contained the ADE2 gene regulated by a...
