Abstract excerpt
The molecular events which confer cellular resistance to cytotoxic drugs such as cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) are poorly understood. Nevertheless, in a proportion of patients with acute leukemia, such events will be responsible for the failure of therapy. Mutations which cause ara-C resistance in a chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell model have been identified as regulatory base substitutions, occurring in specific...
