Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dogs that harbor the naturally occurring ABCB1-1Delta polymorphism experience increased susceptibility to avermectin-induced neurological toxicosis as a result of deficient P-glycoprotein function. Whether or not the ABCB1-1Delta polymorphism affects susceptibility to toxicity of other P-glycoprotein substrate drugs has not been studied. HYPOTHESIS: Dogs that possess the ABCB1-1Delta mutation are more...
