(10)1 cells were cotransfected with topo IIα promoter constructs and either wt or mutant p53 expression vector. p53 values are expressed as a percentage of the luciferase activity in lysates from cells cotransfected with the control CMV-neo-Bam vector only. The values are the mean ± 1 S.D. of activities from triplicate samples in a representative experiment.
