## Abstract Nonβlethal concentrations of bromodeoxyuridine induce a 2β to 5βfold increase in the specific activity of alkaline phosphatase in HeLa subclone, S3G. Experiments employing 10βhour pulses of BRdU showed that 48 hours were required before induction commenced, and that maximal induction wa

Abstract
These studies were undertaken to examine the relationship between the inhibition by 5βbromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) of erythroid differentiation in Friend erythroleukemia cells and the incorporation of BrdU into DNA. Experiments were carried out in which the incorporation of BrdU into DNA and the concentration of BrdU to which the cells were exposed were varied independently of each other. In addition, the ability of deoxycytidine (dC) to reverse the effects of BrdU on hemoglobin production and to reduce the amount of BrdU in DNA was analyzed. Under all the conditions tested, the effects of BrdU were correlated with the amount of Brd incorporated into nuclear DNA. These results differ from those of recent studies on the inhibition of pigmentation and the induction of mutations by BrdU in Syrian hamster melanoma cells. The results suggest that BrdU may be producing its biological effects by a variety of different mechanisms.

We examined the p53 status of 108 NSCLCs compared to the expression of MLH1 and MSH2 proteins. p53 overexpression was demonstrated by IHC in 64% of patients examined, whereas p53 mutations were detected in 43%. Twenty-two percent of mutations were located outside of the hot-spot (exons 5-8) area. p5
