Abstract excerpt
To characterize the involvement of the TP53 tumor suppressor gene in ovarian cancer, mutation analysis of exons 2-11 of TP53 and immunodetection of its protein product, p53, were done in 48 ovarian tumors. Normally, p53 is not immunodetectable. Missense TP53 mutations have been reported to result in p53 accumulation and detection, but mutations generating premature stop codons have not. Mutations were identified...
