Abstract excerpt
The multidrug-resistance gene, MDR1, encodes a plasma membrane glycoprotein termed P-glycoprotein that mediates active cellular efflux of certain chemotherapeutic agents. P-Glycoprotein expression was evaluated in 98 frozen tumor specimens from 57 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer by the indirect immunoperoxidase technique with monoclonal antibodies C219 and JSB-1 used for detection. Tumor specimens were...
