Drugs that selectively attack dividing cells are often used in cancer therapy. However, small cell populations do not die, but develop resistance
to a variety of toxic drugs. Multidrug resistance is achieved by gene amplification of specific membrane-bound transport ATPases that shuttle
the drugs out of cells. Some multidrug-resistant cancer cells express a protein of 110 kDa named LRP (Lung Resistance-related Protein). LRP
expression might be an indicator of prognosis after chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia and ovarian carcinoma. The LRP gene encodes a
protein of 896 amino acids with significant homology to the major vault protein from Dictyostelium discoideum. Although ubiquitously
expressed, LRP is most abundant in epithelial cells.

注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
