Induced resistance in leukaemia L1210 to adriamycin and its cross-resistance to vincristine and bouvardin

Chemotherapy. 1982;28(3):209-12. doi: 10.1159/000238078.

Abstract

The induction of complete resistance to adriamycin in L1210 leukemia was accomplished after 10 transplant generations. The adriamycin-resistant subline showed cross-resistance to vincristine and bouvardin. It was sensitive to methotrexate; this was observed by a 50% increase in life span compared to the life span of untreated control animals.
