Abstract excerpt
In previous studies, we isolated a mutant DNA topoisomerase I cDNA from a camptothecin (CPT)-resistant human T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line, CPT-K5, and demonstrated that an amino acid change from Asp to Gly at residue 533 is responsible for the CPT resistance of the enzyme. In the present study, we have constructed a bicistronic retroviral vector, Ha-TM1-IRES-neo, that carries the mutant (Gly-533) TOP1 cDNA...
