| may be a suitable drug target in melanoma because of its depletion suppressing growth and cell cycle progression | |
interfering RNA depletion of Cdk2 prevented cell-cell detachment induced by pemphigus vulgaris sera ( | |
pharmacological inhibition of Cdk2 activity through roscovitine prevented blister formation and acantholysis in the mouse model of the pemphigus vulgaris disease ( |

| mouse embryonic fibroblats lacking CDK2 proliferates normally and become immortal after continuous passage in culture ( | |
Cdk2-/- mice are viable and survive for up to two years ( |
