Folate receptor-β£ (FR-β£) is generally over-expressed in non-mucinous human ovarian carcinomas. The meaning of FR-β£ over-expression and its role in the 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (N 5 -CH 3 -H 4 PteGlu) transport in such tumors is not clear, especially compared with the reduced folate carrier (RFC)
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Highβdose methotrexate (MTX) is an important component of current protocols for the treatment of osteosarcoma. Although MTX uptake proceeds primarily through the reduced folate carrier (RFC) protein and efflux occurs via multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), RFC protein
