Abstract excerpt
Expression of certain variants of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in mammalian cells protects them from methotrexate. Retroviral transfer of the gene for such a variant DHFR into hematopoietic cells might permit selection of modified cells in vivo by antifolate administration or alleviate antifolate-induced myelosuppression in patients receiving antifolate therapy. We examined protection of cells of the human...
