Abstract excerpt
In multidrug resistance, cells become simultaneously resistant to anthracyclines, vinca alkaloids, epipodophyllotoxins, and certain other natural product cytotoxic drugs. Resistance results from synthesis of a multidrug transporter (P-glycoprotein) encoded by the MDR1 gene (also known as the PGY1 gene). In the present study, a retrovirus vector containing a complementary DNA for the human multidrug resistance...
