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
## Abstract We report on two chondrosarcoma cell lines, FS and AQ, that may be used as models of multidrug resistance in chondrosarcoma. Multidrug resistanceβ1 expression was assayed with reverse transcriptionβpolymerase chain reaction. Immunostaining for the multidrug resistanceβ1 product, Pβglyco
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
