Abstract excerpt
Mutation in the p53 tumor suppressor gene is known to play a critical role in the carcinogenesis of many types of human cancers, especially in colon carcinogenesis. To investigate the early stage of neoplastic processes, a simple and reliable method is needed to evaluate the state of p53 mutation. For this purpose, we tested the availability of the recently developed yeast functional assay to minute endoscopic...
