  1. Quantitative data of each three independent experiments are summarized for FISH and q-RT-PCR (relative mRNA expression) analyses as well as for mitoses and multipolar mitoses (mean and ± standard deviation). Immunoblot analyses are depicted with minus (-) to increasingly positive (+ to ++++) protein expression. Identified p53 mutations and associated effects are listed.
