Abstract excerpt
To understand the mechanism of cellular resistance to the nucleoside analogue cytarabine (1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine, AraC), two resistant derivatives of the human leukemic line CCRF-CEM were obtained by stepwise selection in different concentrations of AraC. CEM/4xAraC cells showed low AraC resistance, whereas CEM/20xAraC cells showed high resistance. Both cell lines showed similar patterns of...
