1 Parameter inference of a basic p53 model using ABC Eszter Lakatos and Michael Barclay Group meeting 29 th October 2014 p53 - ABC II. Eszter 1 / 10

2 Background Study p53 reaction to cellular stress on single cell level Compare and model (stochastically) normal and drug-treated cells MCF-7 cells human breast cancer cell line BE cells bigger cells, faster growth Actinomycin D polypeptide antibiotic with anti-cancer activity transcriptional inhibitor low concentration induces a p53-dependent apoptosis p53 - ABC II.
