Abstract excerpt
Thymidine phosphorylase (Th.P) is an angiogenic factor shown to induce endothelial cell migration and proliferation. On the other hand, loss of wild type p53 function leads to down-regulation of thrombospondin-1, an inhibitor of angiogenesis. In this immunohistochemical study we investigated the intratumoural angiogenesis and thymidine phosphorylase (Th.P) expression in paraffin-embedded bioptical material from...
