Abstract

p53 is a tumour suppressor gene, located at the shol1 arm of choromosome 17 at position 17p 13. I. The ability of p53 gene to induce apoptosis helps to maintain the genetic integrity of the genome. p53 gene comprises five conserved domains, which would result in deticiency of n.lnction, when mutated. The present study was to isolate p53 cDNA by Reverse Transcription -Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and "estriction site characterization by using several types of restriction enzymes. Total RNA from normal prostate tissue (AMBION Cat: #7988) was used as template. Several trials and optimizations were made tor PCR, with two specific primers on p53 gene. However, the desired length of 1.322kb product f'ailed to be amp litied.
