Chronological Record of 1st-15th p53 Workshops
The first p53 meeting was held at Marie Curie Research Institute, Oxted in England, and John Jenkins, the editor of the journal "Oncogene," was the organizer. It was in the spring of 1983, and about 15 to 25 people attended and gave talks. The first incomplete sequences of the mouse p53 c-DNAs were presented by three groups (Crawford, Oren and Levine, and Chumakov). The name p53 was agreed upon by all (previously it had been called 54K, p53, SV40 middle T, transformed cell 3T3 tumor antigen), and there was even a presentation about an EBV p53, which turned out to be incorrect--it was not the p53 under discussion.
Subsequently, meetings have been held about every two years.
