Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of radiosensitization by gemcitabine (2',2'-difluoro-2'-deoxycytidine, dFdC) is not exactly known. We investigated the possible role of inhibition of the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by dFdC by measuring the extent of radiosensitization in different cell lines deficient and proficient in components of nonhomologous end-joining and in the parental cell lines. Different cell lines were incubated...
