Abstract excerpt
The efficacy of all chemotherapeutic agents is limited by the occurrence of drug resistance. To further understand resistance to topoisomerase (topo) II inhibitors, 50 sublines were isolated as single clones from parental cells by exposure to ETP or m-AMSA. Subsequently, a population of cells fro...
