Abstract excerpt
The multidrug resistance phenotype is found to be frequently associated with the overexpression of proteins which lead to a decrease of drug accumulation within human tumor cells. A 170 kDa membrane glycoprotein which is related to the overexpression of the mdr1 gene is inserted in the plasma membrane and pumps the cytotoxic drugs out of the cells. The aim of this work was to study the morphological modifications...
