Cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) is a key chemotherapy drug used to treat acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), however, ap- proximately 30% of patients do not respond to this therapy. 92 An evaluative assay to determine resistance/sensitivity to ara- C prior...

This study evaluates an in vitro biosensor assay capable of detecting the intracellular levels of the tri-phosphorylated form of cytarabine (Ara-CTP) within one working day. The biosensor predicted the response of seven leukaemic cell lines with vary...

Detection of intracellular ara-C/ara-CTP following treatment with the new anti-leukemic drug elacytarabine using a bioluminescent bacterial biosensor (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Robinson, G. M., Anderson, E., Salisbury, V., Mehta, P., Sandvold, M., & Reynolds, D. M. (2013, April). Detection of intracellular ara-C/ara-CTP following treatment with the new anti-leukemic drug elacytarabine using a bioluminescent bacterial biosensor. Poster presented at American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting, Washington D.C., USA

Cytarabine (ara-C) is an analogue of deoxycytidine with an established role in treating AML. Cytarabine depends on the human equilibrative nucleoside transporter-1 (hENT-1) for cellular entry (1). Loss of hENT-1 function in vitro has been shown to re...
