Construction ot retroviral vectors containing human multidrug resistance gene (mdr1) and their expression in NIH3T3 cells

In order to increase the expression of mdrl genetransfectcd using retroviral vcctors, we constructedtwo retroviral vectors (LmdrlSN and MSCV-mdrl)containing mdrl cDNA and compared the expressionof mdrl gene with another vector pHamdrl/A(Pastan et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 85: 4486,1986) in NIH.3T3 cells. The LmdrlSN was made
