Abstract excerpt
Pleiotropic drug resistance is supposed to be associated with a particular tumor cell phenotype, defined by certain plasma membrane glycolipids. Therefore we wondered how far chemosensitivity in vitro correlates with phenotypic characteristics of melanoma cells, which are known to be highly refractory to cytocidal agents. 13 monolayer cell cultures of metastatic melanoma derived from 9 patients were tested with...
