High Functional P-glycoprotein Activity is More Often Present in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemic Cells in Adults than in Children

Abstract excerpt

There is a distinct difference in prognosis between childhood versus adult acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). To define whether multidrug resistance (MDR) genes might contribute to this distinction, the expression and functional activity of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and MDR associated proteins (MRP) were determined with RT-PCR (MDR-1, MRP1, MRP2, MRP3) and flow cytometry (P-gp and MRP). Patient samples were...
