Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDr1, MDr1, abCb1, P-glycoprotein, MrP1, abCC1, peripheral blood lymphocyte, age, C3435t, t-129C, drug resistance. (Centr eur J immunol 2013; 38 (4): 518-529) Central European Journal of Immunology 2013; 38 (4) 519 Expression of multidrug resistance protein 1 and mul tidrug resistance-associated protein 1 in peripheral blood lymphocytes amongst children and young adults ever, MDR1 and MRP1 are also integrated into the membranes of the cells of immunologically privileged tissues, for example, in the endothelial cells of the blood-brain, blood-cerebrospinal fluid and blood-testis barriers [5][6][7][8].
Key words:Moreover, MDR1 and MRP1 are expressed in certain single immune cells, lymphocytes included. In addition, MDR1 protein mediates the transport of certain cytokines and thus participates in the control of lymphocyte activity, differentiation, proliferation and programmed cell death [9,10]. The role of MRP1, amongst other things, is in the regulation of inflammatory activity of the cells through the transport of glutathione conjugate of leukotrienes and prostaglandins. It follows that MDR1 and MRP1 also act as immunomodulators.
