title: Transport of nitrogen mustard on the transport-carrier for choline in L5178Y lymphoblasts.
abstract: The uptake of choline by L5178Y lymphoblasts occurs by a carrier mechanism and is an active process. Transport of nitrogen mustard and its hydrolyzed derivative is mediated by this same carrier. This finding is an example of drug transport by a carrier whose primary function is transport of a naturally occurring substrate.
