Abstract excerpt
The ability of cells to export Hoechst 33342 can be used to identify a subpopulation of cells (side population [SP]) with characteristics of stem cells in many tissues. The ATP-binding cassette transporters Bcrp1 (Abcg2) and Mdr1a/1b (Abcb1a/1b) have been implicated as being responsible for this phenotype. To further explore the involvement of these transporters in the SP phenotype, we have generated...
