Abstract excerpt
The Chinese hamster lung cell line DC-3F contains two polymorphic dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) alleles that are defined by an Asp-Asn amino acid sequence difference at position 95 in protein. Previously, we reported that the antifolate-resistant subline DC-3F/A3 overexpressed a Leu22-->Phe mutant of the Asp95 (21k) allele and that this was the basis of its resistance to methotrexate (MTX) and methasquin [P.
