Abstract excerpt
P-glycoprotein (P-170) is the phenotypic marker of tumoral cells that show the phenomenon of multidrug resistance (MDR). Using an immunocytochemical approach, we employed the monoclonal antibody C219 (which recognizes an epitope of such a glycoprotein) to evaluate in cytologic samples the express...
