title: Study of expression and functional activity of P-GP membrane glycoprotein in children with acute leukemia.
abstract: We studied expression and functional activity of tumor cell P-gp in children with various leukemia variants and analyzed its prognostic role in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Functional activity of P-gp increased in acute myeloid leukemia, relapses of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (in comparison with primary disease), and in a group of patients in whom no remission was attained. The survival of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia was lower in cases with increased expression and function of P-gp.
