Abstract excerpt

We have shown previously that a low concentration of tritiated deoxyadenosine, i.e., 1 microCi/ml, selectively kills wild-type S49 murine lymphoma cells. Mutant cells resistant to [3H] deoxyadenosine lacked adenosine kinase completely but retained a significant level of deoxyadenosine phosphoryla...
