Abstract excerpt
Resistance to cytotoxic agents is a common clinical problem in the treatment of chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL). The multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype characterized by increased levels of a specific cell membrane p-glycoprotein, confers cross resistance to a wide range of structurally dissimilar antineoplastic drugs. We have studied the expression of this p-glycoprotein in chronic lymphatic leukaemia measured...
