Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study tests the hypothesis that p53 status, i.e. wild type versus mutant form, is a determinant in radiation protection of human glioma cells by WR-1065, the active thiol form of amifostine (WR-2721). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cytoprotective effectiveness of WR-1065 when present during irradiation was investigated using four well-characterized human glioma cell lines. The p53 positive lines were...
