The toxic lectin modeccin, which inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells, is cleaved upon treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol into two peptide chains which move in polyacrylamide gels at rates corresponding to molecular weights 28,000 and 38,000. After reduction, the toxin loses its effect on ce

Cisplatin reportedly plays an important role as a chemical modulator in enhancing the chemotherapeutic effects of 5-fluorouracil on tumour cells. The aim of the present study was to test the synergistic cytotoxicity of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in 5-fluorouracil-resistant (C6) and -sensitive (9L)
Reduced folates have been shown to increase the cytotoxicity of 5-fluorouracil (FUra) by stabilizing the fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate:thymidylate synthase complex, thus increasing the block in the DNA synthetic pathway. Using an in vitro tetrazolium colorimetric ( M T Q cytotoxic assay, we teste
