Regulation of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) expression occurs not only at the DNA and mRNA level but also at the protein level. We showed previously that Pgp was stabilized when multidrug-resistant CH(R)C5 and SKVCR 2.0 ovarian cell lines were subjected to serum-starved or high-cell-density growth conditions
A homologue of the multidrug resistance (MDR) gene was obtained while screening a potato stolon tip cDNA expression library with 35S-labeled calmodulin. The mammalian MDR gene codes for a membrane-bound Pglycoprotein (170-180 kDa) which imparts muitidrug resistance to cancerous cells. The potato cDN
## Abstract Multi drug resistance (MDR) in tumor cells is frequently associated with reduced cellular cytostatic drug accumulation, caused by the drug efflux protein, Pβglycoprotein (Pgp). The action of Pgp in tumor cells can be detected by measuring the increase of daunorubicin accumulation upon b
