Abstract
When non-malignant cells were reacted for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, with neotetrazolium chloride as the indicator of the activity, oxygen competed with the neotetrazolium and nullified the reaction. In contrast, about 30% of the activity was retained in malignant cells, in sections and in smears, from cancer of the stomach or colon. This could provide the basis of a qualitative (black-or-white) functional test for distinguishing malignant cells in these conditions.Entities:
