Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis for cancer cell resistance to 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C) is not well understood. Since aberrant expression and mutations of various ras oncogenes have been implicated in the poor prognosis of human cancers and in several mechanisms of drug resistance, we tested this hypothesis by determining the effect of varying level of c-Ha-ras expression and the presence of ras gene mutation...
