MDR Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry
Description: Cells selected for resistance to a single cytotoxic drug may become cross-resistant to a broad range of drugs with different structures and cellular targets. This phenomenon is called multiple drug resistance. The multiple drug resistance (Mdr) gene encodes a 170 kDa glycoprotein (p-glycoprotein) that is a member of a highly conserved superfamily of ATP-binding cassette transport proteins. p170 glycoprotein functions as an energy-dependent efflux pump for structurally diverse agents ranging from ions to peptides. p170 glycoprotein has been implicated in the development of the multiple drug resistance observed in human cancer cells following prolonged chemotherapy. The classic form of Mdr is associated with an increase in p glycoprotein, but not all cases of Mdr can be attributed to a rise in the levels of p-glycoprotein. In cell lines not expressing increased levels of p-glycoprotein, researchers found an increase in the level of a novel protein designated as Mdrassociated protein (MRP).
