Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Assessing the drug resistance of leukemic cells is important for treatment of leukemia. We developed a quantitative reverse transcription (RT)-PCR method for multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) and multidrug resistance-related protein 1 (MRP1) transcripts to evaluate drug resistance, and applied it to clinical samples. METHODS: The cutoffs for copy numbers of MDR1 and MRP1 transcripts were defined based on...
