Dear Editors，

It is more than 12 weeks since I submitted our manuscript (No: )

for possible publication in your journal. I have not yet received a

reply and am wondering whether you have reached a decision. I

should appreciated your letting me know what you have

decided as soon as possible.

四、关于论文的总体审查意见

1. This is a carefully done study and the findings are of

considerable interest. A few minor revision are list below.

2. This is a well-written paper containing interesting results

which merit publication. For the benefit of the reader, however,

a number of points need clarifying and certain statements

require further justification. There are given below.

3. Although these observation are interesting, they are rather

limited and do not advance our knowledge of the subject

sufficiently to warrant publication in PNAS. We suggest that the

authors try submitting their findings to specialist journal such

as –

4. Although this paper is good, it would be ever better if some

extra data were added.

5. This manuscript is not suitable for publication in the journal

of – because the main observation it describe was reported 3

years ago in a reputable journal of - .

6. Please ask someone familiar with English language to help

you rewrite this paper. As you will see, I have made some

correction at the beginning of the paper where some syntax is

not satisfactory.

7. We feel that this potentially interesting study has been

marred by an inability to communicate the finding correctly in

English and should like to suggest that the authors seek the

advice of someone with a good knowledge of English,

preferable native speaker.

8. The wording and style of some section, particularly those

concerning HPLC, need careful editing. Attention should be paid

to the wording of those parts of the Discussion of and Summary

which have been underlined.

9. Preliminary experiments only have been done and with

exception of that summarized in Table 2, none has been

repeated. This is clearly unsatisfactory, particularly when there is

so much variation between assays.

10. The condition of incubation are poorly defined. What is the

temperature? Were antibody used?

五、给编辑的回信

1. In reply to the referee’s main criticism of paper, it is possible

to say that –

One minor point raised by the referee concerns of the extra

composition of the reaction mixture in Figure 1. This has now

been corrected. Further minor changes had been made on page

3, paragraph 1 (line 3-8) and 2 (line 6-11). These do not affect

our interpretation of the result.

2. I have read the referee’s comments very carefully and

conclude that the paper has been rejected on the sole grounds

that it lake toxicity data. I admit that I did not include a toxicity

table in my article although perhaps I should have done. This

was for the sake of brevity rather than an error or omission.

3. Thank you for your letter of – and for the referee’s

comments concerning our manuscript entitled “”. We have

studied their comments carefully and have made correction

which we hope meet with their approval.

4. I enclosed a revised manuscript which includes a report of

additional experiments done at the referee’s suggestion. You

will see that our original findings are confirmed.

5. We are sending the revised manuscript according to the

comments of the reviewers. Revised portion are underlined in

red.

6. We found the referee’s comments most helpful and have

revised the manuscript

7. We are pleased to note the favorable comments of reviewers

in their opening sentence.

8. Thank you for your letter. I am very pleased to learn that our

manuscript is acceptable for publication in Cancer Research

with minor revision.

9. We have therefore completed a further series of experiments,

the result of which are summarized in Table 5. From this we

conclude that intrinsic factor is not account.

10. We deleted the relevant passage since they are not essential

to the contents of the paper.

11. I feel that the reviewer’s comments concerning Figures 1

and 2 result from a misinterpretation of the data.

12. We would have include a non-protein inhibitor in our

system, as a control, if one had been available.

13. We prefer to retain the use of Table 4 for reasons that it

should be clear from the new paragraph inserted at the end of

the Results section.

14. Although reviewer does not consider it is important to

measure the temperature of the cells, we consider it essential.

15. The running title has been changed to “”.

16. The Materials and Methods section now includes details for

measuring uptake of isotope and assaying hexokinase.

17. The concentration of HAT media (page12 paragraph 2) was

incorrectly stated in the original manuscript. This has been

rectified. The authors are grateful to the referees for pointing

out their error.

18. As suggested by both referees, a discussion of the

possibility of laser action on chromosome has been included

(page16, paragraph 2).

19. We included a new set of photographs with better definition

than those originally submitted and to which a scale has been

added.

20. Following the suggestion of the referees, we have redraw

Figure 3 and 4.

21. Two further papers, published since our original submission,

have been added to the text and Reference section. These are:

22. We should like to thank the referees for their helpful

comments and hope that we have now produced a more

balance and better account of our work. We trust that the

revised manuscript is acceptable for publication.

23. I greatly appreciate both your help and that of the referees

concerning improvement to this paper. I hope that the revised

manuscript is now suitable for publication.

24. I should like to express my appreciation to you and the

referees for suggesting how to improve our paper.

25. I apologize for the delay in revising the manuscript. This was

due to our doing an additional experiment, as suggested by

referees.
