Multiple drug resistance has been shown to be associated with amplification/increased expression of a gene designated MDR. The localization of one member of the MDR gene family, MDR1, to the long arm of chromosome 7 by in situ hybridization is reported.

Overexpression of p170 glycoprotein, the product of the multiple drug resistance (mdr) gene, has been associated with resistance to various cytotoxic drugs used in the treatment of human neoplasms. Normal renal epithelial cells express p170 as a function of their secretory capacity. Because renal ce
Herpesvirus saimiri has characteristics that make it amenable to development as a gene therapy vector. The viral genome is thought to be capable of accommodating large quantities of heterologous DNA while the virus itself can infect many different cell types. Virus infection has been shown in many c
Recently, an enzymatic amplification method, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), was modified to amplify a sequence of a drug resistance gene. The PCR assay can confirm data achieved by conventional molecular biology techniques, while requiring less time and fewer patient cells. It can be quantitat
