We have PCR-amplified and sequenced the immediate (841 bp) 5'-flanking
region of murine p16(INK4a) (MTS1, CDKN2) tumor suppressor gene. Comp
aring to recently published 5'-flanking region of the human a form of
p(16INK4a), homologies were found in several regions of murine p16(INK
4a)-alpha putative promoter sequence.
