Meflin expression was also observed in stromal cells that accumulate in tumors developed in an autochthonous LUAD mouse model (KP mice), harboring K-rasG12D and p53 null alleles, after the administration of adenovirus-expressing Cre recombinase (DuPage et al, 2009; Taki et al, 2020), whereas it was hardly detected in the normal or tumor adjacent tissue (Fig 1B). This evidence concerns the gene TP53 and neoplasm.
