Abstract excerpt
The mRNA expression of mdr1 and MRP, each of which codes for a transport protein belonging to ATP-binding cassette superfamily and are reported to be responsible for multidrug resistance phenotype, were semi-quantified by RT-PCR in a panel of gastrointestinal cancer cell lines. Although the expression of MRP was predominant in esophageal cancer cell lines, expression of either or both of the genes was detected in...
