Abstract excerpt
Cancers are frequently chemoresistant because of overexpression of P-glycoprotein. Two different approaches to improve cancer treatment are currently being investigated in clinical trials: inhibition of P-glycoprotein function by reversing agents, and alleviation of leukocytopenia by MDR1 gene transfer to normal bone marrow of patients. We report here that retroviral vectors encoding a mutant P-glycoprotein...
