[P53-status of cells from patients with progeria and ataxia-telangiectasia exposed to ionizing irradiation].

P53 protein expression and stabilization in cell strains derived from patients suffering from progeria and ataxia-telangiectasia following gamma-irradiation have been described. A similar pattern of P53-status in healthy donor and progeria patient cells was shown using immunofluorescent cell staining. In ataxia-telangiectasia cells (strain AT2SP) the P53 protein was not detected by the same method. These data well compare with literary evidence on a disturbed P53-status at ataxia-telangiectasia.
