MRK-16 is available from Kamiya Biomedical Company, Thousand Oaks,
CA. Fax (818) 706-8763. Note that the MRK-16 epitope can be masked in
some clinical samples; we therefore use neuraminidase pretreatment.
We also found that the level of antigen expression appears to
underestimate Pgp function in AML patient samples (Xie et al., Leukemia
1995;9:1882-87). We think this may be because some are expressing
additional members of the ABC gene superfamilly that are capable of
transporting cytotoxic drugs but antigenically distinct from classical Pgp.
