Summary

The occurrence of a p53 mutation along passages stored as frozen vials during establishment of a nontumorigenic human mammary epithelial cell line HMT-3522 was studied, indicating that the mutation was preexisting in passage 30 and gradually selected out because of the growth advantage it conferred.
