Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Expression of the multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein, a transmembrane drug transporter, is influenced by recently described polymorphisms of the human MDR1 gene. Hematopoietic cells, such as lymphocytes, and hematopoietic stem cells, express P-glycoprotein, but the effect of MDR1 gene polymorphisms on P-glycoprotein activity in stem cells is unknown. We investigated whether T-129C,...
