Abstract excerpt
The basis for impaired reduced folate carrier (RFC) activity in methotrexate-resistant CCRF-CEM (CEM/Mtx-1) cells was examined. Parental and CEM/Mtx-1 cells expressed identical levels of the 3. 1-kilobase RFC transcript. A approximately 85-kDa RFC protein was detected in parental cells by photoaffinity labeling and on Western blots with RFC-specific antiserum. In CEM/Mtx-1 cells, RFC protein was undetectable. By...
