Abstract excerpt
The polymorphic human GSTP1 gene locus encodes proteins that differentially metabolize electrophilic substrates, including, many chemotherapeutic agents used in clinical cancer therapy. In this study, we used XL1-Blue MRF strain, transformed with phagemid expression vectors carrying cDNAs of three GSTP1 alleles, to investigate the cytoprotective abilities of the different GSTP1 alleles against four clinically...
