Fig. 1. Radiation-induced p53 protein expression varies during mammary gland development. Immunohistochemistry using CM5 anti-p53 antisera was performed on BALB/c-Trp53+/+ mammary tissue before (unirradiated, A-D) or 6 hours after (irradiated, E-H) treatment with 5 Gy of whole-body
-radiation at various stages of post-natal development. Irradiated age-matched, and developmental stage-matched BALB/c-Trp53/ mice served as controls (I-L). (Magnification 40x).
