Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the effect of the ionophore nigericin (NIG) in multidrug resistant (MDR) cells, using intracellular accumulation of the fluorescent dye rhodamine 123 (R123). NIG increased the accumulation of R123 in half of the murine MDR RFLC3 population but not in the human MDR CEM/VLB 100...
