title: Alkaline phosphatase promotes radioprotection and accumulation of WR-1065 in V79-171 cells incubated in medium containing WR-2721.
abstract: Addition of alkaline phosphatase and WR-2721 to culture medium containing V79-171 cells leads to production of WR-1065 and its disulphide forms in the medium, to cellular accumulation of WR-1065, and to radioprotection which correlates with cellular WR-1065 level.
