Abstract excerpt
Determinants of methotrexate (MTX) resistance in cell lines resistant to short, but not continuous, MTX exposure were investigated since such lines may have relevance to clinical resistance. CCRF-CEM R30dm (R30dm), cloned from CCRF-CEM R30/6 (a MTX-resistant subline of the CCRF-CEM human leukemia cell line), had growth characteristics similar to CCRF-CEM. R30dm was resistant to a 24-h exposure to levels as high...
