title: [Detection of P-glycoprotein in squamous cell carcinoma of larynx].
abstract: The multidrug resistance (MDR) of malignant tumor is a troublesome problem in the chemotherapy. One established mechanism of multidrug resistance is elevated expression of the P-glycoprotein (PGP). JSB1 (which is a special monoclonal antibody of human MDR, PGP) was used to examine the expression of PGP by immunohistochemistry in 23 specimens of squamous cell carcinoma of larynx. The expression of JSB1 in 10 normal laryngeal tissue specimens was also studied, no positive result was found. Of the 23 laryngeal cancer specimens, positive reaction to JSB1 was showed in 15, and there was no relationship between the positive expression, and the tumor differentiation, T staging and lymph-node metastasis. However, by using another newly developed monoclonal antibody C219, a different result was obtained from specimens of the same patients.
