Cetuximab potentiates oxaliplatin cytotoxic effect through a defect in NER and DNA replication initiation
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Preclinical studies have demonstrated that the chemotherapeutic action of oxaliplatin, a third generation platinum derivative, is improved when combined with cetuximab, a monoclonal antibody inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptors. To explore the mechanism of this synergistic benefit, we used HCT-8 and HCT-116, two human colon cancer cell lines, respectively, responsive and non-responsive to the...
