Abstract
A method of inhibiting growth, transformation and/or metastasis of mammalian cells, particularly epithelial cells, in which activity of at least one enzyme, which participates in purine metabolism or regulation of nucleotide levels or the relative ratios of their phosphorylated states, is elevated. In particular, a method of inhibiting transformation, growth and/or metastasis of mammalian cells in which a DNA tumor virus, a DNA tumor virus factor or other factor which has an equivalent effect on cells has acted.
