Front page color photo Immunochemical staining of p53 protein in colorectal tumor specimens. A, B: cultured colorectal tumor cells with p53 point mutations; A, after staining by the normal method and B, after staining with antibody to p53 protein. A p53 oncogenic point mutation produces a p53 oncoprotein with improved stability, giving rise to a large amount of p53 protein which accumulates in the nuclei of tumor cells; too little normal p53 protein is accumulated to be detected by the staining method used. C: adenoma with moderate dysplasia; D: adenoma with severe dysplasia, with a p53 point mutation; E and F: intramucosal carcinoma and invasive carcinoma, both with p53 point mutations. Cells in which the nucleus is stained with p53-protein antibody were not seen in C, were rare in D (arrow) and occurred ubiquitously in E and F (courtesy of Michiko Miyaki)
