The prognostic significance of p53 gene abnormalities was investigated in 9 I9 primary breast-cancer patients. p53 expression and tumour-cell proliferation fraction determined by MIB-I count, p53 exon 5 and 6 mutations and HER-Z/neu oncogene amplification were detected by immunohistochemistry, PCR-S
## Background: The p53 tumor suppressor gene encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein that is thought to be important to cell cycle regulation and dna repair and that also may regulate induction of apoptosis by ionizing radiation. somatic p53 gene mutations occur in 30-50% of breast carcinomas and are asso
Background and Objectives: We investigated whether expression levels of c-erbB-2 and p53 proteins in breast cancer tissues differ in primary and metastatic lesions. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining or sandwich enzyme immunoassay was used to determine expression levels of c-erbB-2 and p53 protei
