Abstract excerpt
In many studies the detection of p53 protein by immunohistochemistry (IHC) with one antibody is assumed to be consistent with a mutation of the gene. To determine the correlation of protein detection by immunohistochemistry and gene mutation, paraffin embedded specimens of 60 oral leukoplakias (O...
