Abstract
SummaryThe tumour suppressor p53 plays a key role in DNA damage and repair. It is the most frequently altered gene in human cancers and these mutations may implicate the genesis and/or progression of tumours. Mutations of thep53gene were also found in a number of canine cancers, although it is poorly estimated in canine lymphomas. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the p53 status in these types of tumours. We have shown that the expression of p53 in canine lymphomas is rare, however significantly differs between lymphomas of T‐ and B‐cell origin.
