title: [Identification of cells with lowered sensitivity to cytostatic agents by the use of fluorescent dyes].
abstract: With a help of stepwise increase of vincristine concentrations in culture medium several lines of mouse myeloma X63 Ag 8.863 cells resistant to low concentrations of vincristine (6-35-fold) were selected. Rhodamine 123 stained resistant cells and wild-type cells with an equal intensity. However, resistant cells differ significantly from the sensitive ones by the rate of rhodamine efflux. The rate of the efflux was in proportion to the degree of resistance. The efflux of the dye could be blocked by the addition to reserpine, the inhibitor of multidrug resistance. Thus, fluorescent dyes can be used for the detection of cells with low levels of multidrug resistance.
