Abstract excerpt
A paclitaxel-resistant cell line, KPTA5, was established by co-selecting the parental erythroleukemic cell line K562 with stepwise increased concentrations of paclitaxel (Taxol) in the presence of the cyclosporin D analogue PSC 833 (2 microM), a potent modulator of the multidrug resistance phenotype. KPTA5 cells are 9-fold resistant to paclitaxel and taxotere, but do not exhibit significant resistance to Vinca...
