Abstract
A CDK profile including a ratio of specific activities of two cyclin dependent kinases closely correlates with the malignancy grade and the presence/absence of the sensitivity to an irritant such as an anticancer agent of a cancer tissue in clinical medicine. Therefore, the properties of a mammalian cell, such as malignancy grade, proliferation potency, sensitivity to an irritant such as an anticancer agent can be assessed based on its CDK profile or by comparing the result of a specific activity ratio of two CDKs with a predetermined threshold corresponding to the ratio. This sensitivity assessing method shows a high ratio of correct assessing results particularly in positive or sensitivity and is useful in predicting efficacy of chemotherapy using the anticancer agent.
