Drug-resistant cancer cells with the multidrug-resistance phenotype show overexpression of P-glycoprotein, and we therefore tested carcinoma tissue from five patients with stage III or IV ovarian cancer for P-glycoprotein using 265/F4 and C 219 monoclonal antibodies, prepared against membrane glycoproteins in colchicine-resistant CHO cells.
The monoclonal antibody RAP 5 immunoreactive with the ras gene product p21 was used in an immunohistochemical study of 57 patients with advanced ovarian cancer and in 28 normal ovaries.
When either human ovarian carcinoma cells (SKOV3) or human prostatic carcinoma cells (DU145) were treated with EA, the half-life of the GST pi transcript was also increased.

Thus, some ovarian cancer cases before chemotherapy are intrinsically multidrug resistant, which can be determined by mdr1 gene expression, and this phenotype should be taken into account for effective chemotherapy of ovarian epithelial carcinomas.

Here, we report the analysis of three marker-disease recombinants in families that contain breast and ovarian cancer, two of which strongly suggest a location for BRCA1 telomeric to D17S702, a microsatellite polymorphism, and a third which suggests a location centromeric to EDH17B, the gene encoding estradiol-17B dehydrogenase.
We transduced a human mutant dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) cDNA into CD34 antigen-positive peripheral blood cells from patients with breast or ovarian cancer obtained after treatment with chemotherapy and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF).
