Abstract excerpt
Aedes albopictus mosquito cells resistant to the thymidine analog 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) were obtained using a single-step selection procedure. The resistant cells were characterized with respect to growth in the presence of BrdU, incorporation of [3H]uridine and [3H]thymidine, and thymidine kinase activity in crude extracts. The LC50 for TK-6 cells was 95 micrograms BrdU/ml, and for TK-8 cells was 45...
