Abstract excerpt
We have selected and characterized Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells resistant to auromomycin (AUR), an antitumor antibiotic composed of a protein moiety and a nonpeptide chromophore. AUR is cytotoxic as a consequence of DNA strand-scission activity associated with the chromophore. Initial single-step selections for clones resistant to AUR detected a subpopulation of phenotypically resistant colonies, but nearly...
