ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe the expression of proteins Rb and P 53 in leukoplakia (LK) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of oral muco sa. Methods: The expression of proteins Rb and P 53 was determined by immunohistochemical S-P method. Paraffin sections of 33 s amples of SCC and 20 of LK were immunohistochemically stained and analyzed. Results: (1)The expression of Rb in OLK, OSCC was not si gnificantly different from that in normal oral mucosa ;(2)the overexpression of mutant P 53 were found in OLK and its expression was increasing with dysp hasia degree (P
