Abstract excerpt
Fifteen variants with >/=30-fold resistance to N-methyl-N-nitrosourea were isolated from the Burkitt's lymphoma Raji cell line. Eight had received a single treatment with a highly cytotoxic dose. The remainder, including the previously described RajiF12 cell line, arose following multiple exposur...
