Abstract
Some tumor cells become resistant to structurally unrelated antitumor drugs. The multidrug resistance phenotype (MDR) is characterized by a lowering of drug cellular accumulation associated with the expression of a 170-kDa glycoprotein, Pgp (Permeability glycoprotein) at the membrane level [for review see: Gottesman and Pastan, 1993; Simon and Schindler, 1994].
