Abstract excerpt
P140K-MGMT and G156A-MGMT genes encode two O(6)-benzylguanine-resistant O(6)-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase proteins that confer a high degree of O(6)-benzylguanine and 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) or O(6)-benzylguanine and temozolomide resistance to primary hematopoietic cells. In this study, we directly compared these and three other O(6)-benzylguanine-resistant MGMT genes for their ability to...
