摘要:
The striking compartmentalization of p21.sup.WAF1 expression found in normal tissues is completely abrogated in neoplastic tissues. Methods are provided for using p21.sup.WAF1 expression as a tool to assess neoplasia and to discover new drugs. A truncated p21.sup.WAF1 protein is more active than full-length p21.sup.WAF1 protein in inhibiting tumor cell growth.

摘要:
This invention relates to embodiment to a molecular beacon, methods and kits for the detection of expression of p21(Waf1/Cip1), in response to chemotherapy. Specifically, the introduction of a phosphorothioate-modified p21-beacon by transfection in human tumor cells yields increased signal in a dose dependent manner.
