Abstract

A panel of 12 Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines and four other B cell lines were tested for the presence of mutations in p53. Protein analysis using a mutant-specific antibody and sequencing of both cDNA and genomic DNA revealed changes relative to the standard p53 protein sequence in 12 of the 16 lines studied, including 10 of the BL lines. Mutation of p53 in the BL lines was usually accompanied by loss of the other allele of p53. Testing of the mutated p53 cDNAs for gain of transforming activity or loss of growth suppression activity showed that several of the BL mutants were functionally altered from wild-type p53.

  • The RAJI cell line harbors the loss-of-function mutant alleles R213Q and Y234H.

    “The cell line RAJI, which harbors the loss-of-function mutant alleles R213Q and Y234H [34–36] for p53 targets including TLR3 and p21 (Supplementary Figure S4A), was treated with the reactivating drugs RITA [36] and PRIMA-1 [37] as well as with the anticancer drugs doxorubicin (DXR) and 5-fluorouracil (5FU) to induce p53.”

    From Ligand dependent restoration of human TLR3 signaling and death in p53 mutant cells (2016) · cites this paper as [35]

    Table I (p. 2880) identifies Raji’s p53 mutation as R213Q, but does not list Y234H. The functional-analysis passage reports that Raji mutant p53 lost suppressor activity in one assay but retained it in another, so the unqualified description of both alleles as loss-of-function is not supported.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
