Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides methods and compositions for modulating cell senescence and cell proliferation using isoforms of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. The methods and compositions of the invention find use in inhibiting cancer cell growth or in generating populations of cells for tissue regeneration through the modulation of cell senescence and proliferation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of enhancing immune cell function of a population of T cells having an endogenous wildtype p53 gene, the method comprising introducing into the population of T cells an agent that activates the function or expression of Δ133p53, wherein the agent comprises a polynucleotide encoding Δ133p53 or an expression cassette comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding Δ133p53. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the population of T cells is a mammalian T cell population. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the mammalian T cell population is a human T cell population. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the population of T cells comprises CD8+ T cells.
