Abstract excerpt
A mouse mammary carcinoma FM3A cell line resistant to the DNA topoisomerase (topo) II-targeting agent, etoposide (VP-16), FM3A/VP-2B, had a markedly reduced growth rate at a low temperature (33 degrees C). The cells had the following properties: (a) FM3A/VP-2B, which had 24-fold higher resistance to VP-16 than its parental line, FM3A, was cross-resistant to doxorubicin, but not to a camptothecin derivative,...
