P-Glycoprotein (PGP), a product of the multidrug resistance gene (mdr), acts as an adenosine triphosphate-dependent drug efflux system in cells. Initially, PGP was found in cancer cells, but it is now known that PGP is richly distributed in the adult brain. Passage to the central nervous system is l

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is associated with the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an ATP-dependent transporter which expels anti-cancer drugs from cells. In the present study, MDR1 P-gp was immunodetected by Western blot analysis in 60 human brain tumors, including meningiomas, schwannomas, low
Multicellular prostate tumor spheroids develop intrinsic P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-mediated multidrug resistance with the appearance of quiescent cell areas. We have investigated the effect of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) on Pgp expression in large, quiescent and drug-resistant multicellul
BACKGROUND. Despite extensive investigation, the role of MDR of human cancer remains unclear. Canine lymphoma is a spontaneously arising correlate of human non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that may complement other in vivo models for investigation of issues related to MDR. METHODS. Immunoreactivity of primary
## Abstract Twentyβfour fresh tumors of gastric carcinoma were assessed by flow cytometric detection of Pβglycoprotein (Pβgp) using monoclonal antibody C219. Eight patients were Pβgp positive. Differentiated gastric carcinomas contained significantly higher concentrations of Pβgp positive. Incidenc
We previously reported that only one of the three mouse multidrug-resistance (mdr) genes, mdr3, is activated in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). The present study examined the expression of mdr family members during mouse liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy to determine whether the regener
