Abstract
The dependence of ionizing radiation-induced GADD45 mRNA expression on the presence of functional p53 in mammalian cells is disclosed. First and second oligonucleotide sequences are provided which can form a double-stranded oligomer capable of binding to functional p53 protein. The present invention demonstrates that the dependence of ionizing radiation-induced GADD45 mRNA expression on the presence of functional p53 and the binding of functional p53 to a double-stranded oligomer binding sequence can serve as the basis for methods for determining the presence of functional p53 in mammalian cell lines and tumors.
