MDR1 polymorphisms G2677T in exon 21 and C3435T in exon 26 fail to affect rhodamine 123 efflux in peripheral blood lymphocytes
7 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is a member of the ABC-transporter family, and in humans, is encoded by the MDR1 gene. Recently, several single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the MDR1 gene were identified. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the MDR1 genetic polymorphisms G2677T and C3435T on Pgp activity in CD56+ and CD4+ peripheral blood cells. Using flow cytometry, rhodamine 123 (Rh123) efflux was...
