abstract：:A diffusible multitherapy resistance factor (MTRF) is produced by Cloudman S91 melanoma cells in vitro. The MTRF decreases sensitivity of the target cell line, S91/amel, to gamma-irradiation, UVC (200-280 nm) and mitomycin C (MMC). In the present study, we demonstrate that MTRF also increases the survival of S91/amel ...
