Backgroundp53 has been observed to act as both as a tumor-suppressor and transcription factor. By binding to DNA, the normal p53 negatively regulates cell growth and division. In case of DNA damage, p53 arrests the cell cycle until repair has taken place. In case repair is not possible, p53 induces apoptosis. p53 acts a two checkpoints in the cell cycle, between G1 and S, and between G2 and M, respectively.
ImmunogenRecombinant human wild type p53 protein was used as an immunogen
