title: Multidrug-resistance protein 1 in focal cortical dysplasia.
abstract: Drug resistance in epilepsy is poorly understood. We used routine immunohistochemistry to assess overexpression of a multidrug-resistance protein in dysplastic neurons, glia, and around vessels in surgically resected epileptogenic human brain tissue. We showed non-tumoral overexpression of this multidrug-resistance protein, which might contribute to drug resistance in epilepsy caused by focal cortical dysplasia.
