Abstract excerpt
Treating mammalian cells with continuous sub-lethal doses of Hydroxyurea (HU) causes the loss of double minute chromosomes (DMs) containing amplified oncogenes in culture. Recently, we have shown that treating glioblastoma multiforme cells in culture with low doses of HU causes the loss of DMs containing epidermal growth factor receptor genes. Loss of amplified EGFR genes was accompanied by cessation of growth,...
