To examine the expression of p53 protein and gene alterations in oral epithelial lesions including epithelial dysplasias and primary squamous cell carcinomas, immunohistochemical and temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) methods were applied to formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues.

## Abstract ## Background Proteins regulating the cell cycle and cell death are frequently abnormally expressed in cancer. Several of these, particularly p53 and Bclโ2, have been widely suggested as possible prognostic markers in diverse human malignancies. Their role in predicting outcome in squa
We investigated immunohistochemically the clinical relevance of the over-expression of the apoptosis-regulating proteins p53 and bcl-2 in a homogeneous series of 149 laryngeal squamous-cell carcinomas. p53 was over-expressed in 75 cases and bcl-2 in 39 cases. p53 and bcl-2 co-expression was found in
Previous studies of oral cancer have suggested that alterations of the p53 tumour suppressor gene occur early in the precancerous stage of development. However, these observations have been based on cross-sectional assessment of abnormal p53 protein staining by immunohistochemistry and may not neces
One-hundred-two patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas in Northeast China were examined for human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) coupled with Southern blot hybridization, and for p53 over-expression by immunohistochemical staining. HPV DNAs were found in 60
