## Background and objectives: It is generally accepted that the overexpression of p53 protein is associated with poor prognosis in breast, colorectal, and other types of cancer. however, the prognostic significance of p53 aberrations in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma has yet to be determined. w
Using 2 anti-mucin 1 (MUC1) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), DF3 and BCP8, we examined MUC1 expression immunohistochemically in 192 esophageal squamous-cell carcinomas (SCCs). In normal squamous epithelium of the esophagus, DF3 was not expressed, but BCP8 was expressed on the cell membrane, mainly in t
Recent results suggest that p53 inactivation is required for cervical-carcinoma development. The mdm-2 oncogene, which forms an auto-regulatory feedback loop with the normal p53 protein, has been found amplified in human carcinomas, thus abolishing the anti-proliferative function of p53. To investig
