Abstract excerpt
The nucleoside analogue 2',2'-difluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (dFdCyd) is a potent radiosensitizer in several solid tumor cell lines. Radiosensitization has correlated with the dFdCyd-mediated decrease in dATP levels and is S-phase specific. Previous studies suggested that a cell line that was unable to progress through S phase after dFdCyd and radiation was not radiosensitized apparently because of the expression of...
