Abstract excerpt
The chloroquine resistance phenotype of Plasmodium falciparum shares many similarities to multi-drug resistance in tumour cells and this has led to the identification of two mdr-like genes (pfmdr1, pfmdr2) from this human pathogen. The pfmdr1 gene has been linked to the chloroquine resistance phenotype, although a genetic cross appears to contradict these results. Analysis of drug resistant mutants selected in...
