Abstract excerpt
Among various 150-nM methotrexate-resistant (MTXr) V79 clones isolated, we found that two near-tetraploid clones as well as a near-diploid clone with amplification in the dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) gene readily developed resistant to 40 000 nM MTX within 3 months during stepwise increased MTX selection, while two near-diploid clones without gene amplification could not acquire resistance beyond 5000 nM MTX....
