Abstract excerpt
The murine multidrug resistance gene mdr1b is highly induced in the endometrium during pregnancy. Evidence suggests that induction occurs mainly as a result of progesterone action. To study the molecular mechanisms involved in this induction, 5'-flanking sequences between -540 and +97 of the mdr1b gene were fused to the reporter gene, bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (p540CAT). Unlike most...
