Sublines of transplantable mouse leukemias made resistant to actinomycin D, vincristine, and related antitumor agents show reduced levels of 10 glycosidases when compared with parent cell lines. Since glycosidases may be involved in the metabolism of membrane glycoproteins, resistance to these drugs may be related to changes in membrane permeability.
