Abstract excerpt
Retroviral transduction of antifolate-resistant variants of human dihydrofolate reductase (hDHFR) into cells can increase their resistance to the cytotoxic effects of these drugs. We evaluated the ability of wild-type hDHFR and 20 mutant enzymes (13 with single-amino acid substitutions, 7 with two substitutions) to prevent growth inhibition in antifolate-treated CCRF-CEM cells. The wild-type enzyme and all of the...
