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) in human cancer is often associated with over-expression of the mdr-1 gene, which encodes a 170-kDa transmembrane protein, termed P-glycoprotein (P-gp). We evaluated the immunoreactivity of P-gp in oral tissues at different stages of tumorigenesis in the Indian population
## BACKGROUND. It has been observed that patients who have previously undergone radiotherapy have a lower rate of response to chemotherapy. ## METHODS. The authors investigated the effects of radiation on the expression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a multidrug-resistance gene product, in 56 patient
Liver cancer has traditionally been an attractive system for studying cancer biology Most of our knowledge about hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been derived from studies using experimental animals It is well known that liver tumors in rodents can be induced by many different protocols, e g , car
