Detection of MDR molecules with a panel of monoclonal antibodies in formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded normal human tissues and in frozen sections of different species
| Reactivity of MDR1 P-gp, MDR3 P-gp, MRP2, MRP3, and BCRP as judged on sections of liver, and reactivity of anti-MRP1 and MVP Mabs as judged on sections of lung. Staining scores: −, no reactivity; +/−, very weak reactivity; +, weak reactivity; ++, strong reactivity; +++, very strong reactivity. | ||||||
| BCRP, breast cancer resistance protein; Mab, monoclonal antibody; MDR, multidrug resistance; MRP, multidrug resistance protein; MVP, major vault protein; P-gp, P-glycoprotein. | ||||||
