摘要: P-glycoprotein (P-gp/P-170), a transmembrane efflux pump known to be one of the mechanisms responsible for multidrug resistance in cancer therapy, is constitutively expressed several solid human tissues as well normal peripheral blood lymphocytes and bone marrow cells. In particular, this molecule has been associated with transport perforin other cytolysins natural killer (NK) T cytotoxic lymphocytes. present study, we analyzed (PBLs) from controls HIV+ patients phenotypic expression function P-gp/P-170 molecule. We found that 90% all PBL subsets (i.e., CD4+, CD8+, CD56+, CD19+ cells) surface both patients. However, significant decrease CD4+/P-170+ CD19+/P-170+ cells was observed individuals respect controls. PHA IL-2 stimulation PBLs unable increase patients, despite increased de...
