Cross-reactivity of C219 Anti-p170mdr-1 Antibody With p185c-erbB2 in Breast Cancer Cells: Cautions on Evaluating p170mdr-1
15 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Increased expression of the multidrug resistance gene (MDR-1)-encoded P-glycoprotein (p170[mdr-1]) is a major cause of tumor cell multidrug resistance. p170(mdr-1) functions as a drug-efflux pump to reduce the cellular accumulation of specific drugs. MDA-MB-435 human breast cancer cells that have been transfected with oncogene c-erbB2 complementary DNA (435.eb cells) express high levels of the...
