Breast Cells with Stained p-16

Caption

In these images of unirradiated and irradiated breast cells, nuclei have been dyed blue and tumor-suppressing p-16 proteins have been stained with a green fluorescent. The paucity of p-16 in the irradiated cells indicates the presence of a pre-cancerous vHMEC phenotype.
