Modulating drug resistance by targeting BCRP/ABCG2 using retrovirus-mediated RNA interference.

<h4>Background</h4>The BCRP/ABCG2 transporter, which mediates drug resistance in many types of cells, depends on energy provided by ATP hydrolysis. Here, a retrovirus encoding a shRNA targeting the ATP-binding domain of this protein was used to screen for highly efficient agents that cou...
