resistant cell line (CEM-MP5) by stepwise selection of the human T-lymphoblastic leukemia
cell line (CEM). CEM-MP5 cells were about 100-fold resistant to 6-MP compared with
parental CEM cells. Western blot analysis demonstrated that multidrug resistant protein 4
(MRP4) was increased in CEM-MP5 cells, whereas the levels of the nucleoside transporters
hENT1, hCNT2 and hCNT3 were decreased compared with those of parental CEM cells …
