Abstract excerpt
The efficacy of all chemotherapeutic agents is limited by the occurrence of drug resistance. To further understand resistance to topoisomerase II inhibitors, 50 sublines were isolated as single clones from parental cells by exposure to VP-16 (etoposide) or mAMSA (m-amsacrine). Subsequently, a population of cells from each subline was exposed to three-fold higher drug concentrations allowing 16 stable sublines to...
