Analysis of p53 codon 72 polymorphism in prostate carcinomas and hyperplasias by allele-specific PCR. The PCR products were run on a 3 % agarose gel. Numbers above the lanes indicate the designation of the tumor samples. (H) and (C) denote prostate hyperplasia or carcinoma, respectively. A or P indicate the use of Arg or Pro specific primer sets, respectively. The bars on the left side indicate the positions of the PCR products for Arg allele (136 bp) and Pro allele (178 bp).
