Abstract excerpt
The immunohistochemical detection of epithelial p53 protein expression in oral lichen planus (OLP) biopsies was supplemented with molecular analysis for mutations of the p53 gene using the polymerase chain reaction - single stranded conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) technique. p53 protein ex...
