O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase, O6-Benzylguanine, and Resistance to Clinical Alkylators in Pediatric Primary Brain Tumor Cell Lines
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Primary brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer death in children. Our purpose is (a) to assess the contribution of the DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) to the resistance of pediatric brain tumor cell lines to clinical alkylating agents and (b) to evaluate variables for maximal potentiation of cell killing by the MGMT inhibitor O6-benzylguanine, currently in clinical...
