Abstract excerpt
Cells with multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype express P-glycoprotein (P-gp) on the cell membrane, which functions as a drug-efflux pump. To quantify the expression of the gene encoding P-gp (multidrug resistance 1; MDR1) and assess P-gp function, we developed competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay using heterologous competitor RNA and flow cytometric analysis using rhodamine...
