Radioimmunoassay provides an alternative, sensitive and reproducible high throughput method for the measurement of dNTP pools. The extent and duration of inhibition of TS can be investigated by determination of the TTP and "dUMP" pools and the effects of D1694 and ZD9331 have confirmed their biochemical profiles. The RIAs will be useful in providing information for the design of treatment protocols for TS inhibitors and with the specific assay of dUTP, on mechanisms of cell death in different cell lines.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007939	Leukemia L1210	An experimental LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA of mice.	Leukemia L 1210,L 1210, Leukemia,L1210, Leukemia
D010051	Ovarian Neoplasms	Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

D011863	Radioimmunoassay	Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001692	Biological Transport	The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments.
