Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Tacrolimus has a large interindividual pharmacokinetic variability, and quantification of its effect is difficult. It is a substrate of ABCB1, an efflux pump expressed more on CD8 T cells than on CD4 T cells. The ABCB1 3435C>T single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been associated with interindividual differences in ABCB1 activity and may influence drug efficacy. Here the influence of this SNP on...
