The incorporation of 5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine into DNA of mammalian tumor cells

Treatment of L1210 mouse leukemia cells with 10 −6M [ 3h]5-fluoro-2′-deoxy-uridine resulted in the incorporation of radioactivity into DNA. The DNA hydrolysate was shown to contain [ 3h]5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridylic acid by an unequivocal assay involving the formation of a tightly-bound complex with thy...

Zusammenfassung:Treatment of L1210 mouse leukemia cells with 10 −6M [ 3h]5-fluoro-2′-deoxy-uridine resulted in the incorporation of radioactivity into DNA. The DNA hydrolysate was shown to contain [ 3h]5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridylic acid by an unequivocal assay involving the formation of a tightly-bound complex with thymidylate synthetase in the presence of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate. The extent of incorporation was estimated to be 1 molecule of 5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridylic acid per 10 DNA nucleotides.
