Arginine deprivation, growth inhibition and tumour cell death: 3. Deficient utilisation of citrulline by malignant cells

Arginine deprivation causes death of up to 80% of cancer cell lines in vitro, but in the body, citrulline would be available as a convertible source of this amino acid in vivo. Some tumour cell lines, notably the vast majority of melanomas and hepatocellular carcinomas, tend to be deficient in argin...
