Response of Patient-Derived Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Xenografts to Classical and Targeted Therapies Is Not Related to Multidrug Resistance Markers

Table 1

Chemosensitivity testing, constitutive protein, and mRNA expression of BCRP, LRP, MDR1, and MRP1 in 26 xenografts and the positive controls. Response: − negativ: 100–50% T/C, + 35–50% T/C, ++ 21–35% T/C, +++ 6–20%T/C, ++++ 0–5% T/C, tox-toxic, n.t.—not tested; protein expression: − not detected, + weak, ++ medium, +++ strong expression; % of positive cells; mRNA expression: normalised values; etp—etoposide, carpl—carboplatin, gem—gemcitabine, paltx—paclitaxel, erlo—erlotinib.
