Abstract
In search for markers of tumor cell resistance to cytostatic drugs, cy tological characteristics were compared of resistant and sensitive to rubomycin variants of mouse P-388 leukemia. Morphocytochemical, morpho metrical and cytogenetic investigations were performed as well as meas urements of intracellular pH. As shown by the fluorescent test, pH lev els in rubomycin-sensitive and resistant subpopulations differed. This fact evidences an important role of intracellular pH in inducing the resistance and revealed some mechanisms of rubomycin-resistant tumor c ell selection.
