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 phosphorylating activity. To study further the specificity of [3H] deoxyadenosine selection, lymphoma cell clones resistant to 15...
