abstract：:Post-transcriptional modification of p53 by phosphorylation has been proposed as an important mechanism of p53 stabilization and functional regulation. However, little is known about the phosphorylation state of mutant p53 protein overexpressed in human tumors. We evaluated immunohistochemically the p53 phosphorylatio...
