METHODS: Cell viability in several concentrations of 5-FU was assessed by the MTT test. Expression of hMSH2 and hMLH1 in LoVo, SW480 and SW1116 cells were analyzed by immunocytochemical staining.Ten mononucleotide and dinucleotide microsatellite loci were analyzed by the PCR-SSLP-silver staining method. RESULTS: By MTT assay, it showed that LoVo cells were more sensitive than SW480 and SW1116 cells (0.8 micromol/L,2.2 micromol/L and 1.9 micromol/L, respectively, P展开更多
