Expression of a mutant p53 results in an age-related demographic shift in spontaneous lung tumor formation in transgenic mice.

Expression of a mutant p53 results in an age-related demographic shift in spontaneous lung tumor formation in transgenic mice.

BACKGROUND:Mutations in the P53 gene are among the most common genetic abnormalities in human lung cancer. Codon 273 in the sequence-specific DNA binding domain is one of the most frequently mutated sites. METHODOLOGY:To investigate the role of mutant p53 in lung tumorigenesis, a lung specific p53(2...
