Carboxypeptidase G2 and trimetrexate cause growth delay of human colonic cancer cells in vitro

Biochem Pharmacol. 1990 Jun 1;39(11):1787-91. doi: 10.1016/0006-2952(90)90126-6.

Abstract

MAWI colonic cancer cells respond to sequential treatment in vitro with carboxypeptidase G2 and trimetrexate by a delay in cell growth as measured by cell numbers, but an increase in incorporation of 75-Se-selenomethionine per cell. The cells are not methionine auxotrophs.
