A radioimmunoassay (RIA) capable of quantitating dCTP in femtomolar amounts in cell extracts has been developed, and applied to human fibroblast cell lines and L5178Y mouse lymphoma lines. Cross reactivity of the antibody with CTP, though low (2.7%) has necessitated pre-RIA removal of CTP by either

A radiochemical assay for thymidylate synthase (EC 2.1.1.45, dTMP synthase), which permits the accurate determination of total, free, and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridylate (FdUMP)-bound enzyme in cells exposed to the 5-fluoropyrimidine anticancer agents, is described. The total intracellular concentrations
The expression of several cancer-related genes has been reported to be silenced by DNA methylation of their promoter region. 5-Aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-AZA-CdR), a potent and specific inhibitor of DNA methylation, can reactivate the in vitro expression of these genes. In future clinical trials in tumo
