โฆ Synopsis
Hydrogen-peroxide-resistant Chinese hamster fibroblasts, derived from the HA-1 cell line, were isolated following continuous culturing in the presence of progressively increasing concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen-peroxide-resistant phenotype has been stable for over 360 days following removal from H, O, stress. These ti,O,-resistant cell lines demonstrate increased resistance to hypertherniic cell killing mediated by continuous heating at 43ยฐC but not 45ยฐC. The relationship between rnarnirndlian cellular adaptation to oxidative stress mediated by H,O, and resistance to 43ยฐC hyperthermia is discussed.

Histidinol (HST, 5 mM), an analogue of the essential amino acid L-histidine, added for 2 hr before and during heating at 43"C, protected cells from killing at 43ยฐC. Treatment with
