Expression of c-Kit and functional drug efflux are correlated in de novo acute myeloid leukaemia.

Abstract excerpt

P-glycoprotein (Pgp), the major mediator of multidrug resistance (MDR) has often been implicated as a poor prognostic indicator in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We have previously reported that high expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit in AML is associated with poor prognosis. To determine whether the MDR phenotype is associated with high c-Kit expression, the monoclonal antibodies UIC-2 and YB5.B8,...
