Abstract excerpt
We studied factors that control chemoresistance to 6 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines carrying p53 mutations. Cell lines were chosen, based on the presence of EGFR amplifications, the presence of H-ras mutations, and the absence of either. WST-1 viability assays showed that, in response to etoposide, Ca922 was most sensitive, HOC313 most resistant, and HSC6 and the others moderately sensitive. A...
