Molecular Evidence and Functional Expression of P-Glycoprotein (MDR1) in Human and Rabbit Cornea and Corneal Epithelial Cell Lines
24 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Efflux pumps such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp; MDR1) are believed to be a major barrier to drug delivery. The purpose of this work was to determine whether cornea and corneal epithelial cells expresses the functionally active P-gp efflux pump. METHOD: Cultured rabbit primary corneal epithelial cells (rPCECs) and a corneal cell line (Statens Seruminstitut rabbit cornea [SIRC] cells) were selected as the...
