Disease relevance of pentostatin

Pretreatment with 500 micrograms/kg DCF shows a small, but statistically significant, preservation of both ATP and phosphorylation potential during hypoxia and initial recovery [1].

High impact information on pentostatin

In all, 11 pts were pretreated with either splenectomy (n=6), interferon alpha (n=9) or deoxycoformycin (dCF) (n=3) or all procedures in sequence [2].
Of these, three patients were studied at the time of diagnosis, 12 in relapse after interferon (IFN) therapy, eight with a partial response after IFN and one with a complete response after 2-deoxycoformycin (DCF) therapy [3].
Only FLU and 2-CdA activated the apoptosis and DCF showed a minor apoptotic pathway amount [4].
In July 1985, the patient began intravenous deoxycoformycin (DCF) therapy, and after 1 year complete peripheral blood and bone marrow remission was achieved [5].
We are using immortalized stromal cell lines resistant to deoxycoformycin (dCF) to select transduced murine HSC containing human ADA in vitro [6].

Gene context of pentostatin

Treatment with either DCF or IFN-alpha also modulates the sCD8 levels to normal range [7].
