| Abstract: | A fluorometric method to estimate adriamycin accumulation in cells was used to discriminate adriamycin- and vincristine-resistant sublines from sensitive parental P388 murine leukemia cells. It was easily checked that adriamycin accumulation was lower in the adriamycin- and vincristine-resistant cells than in the sensitive ones. With this method we found that tamoxifen as well as diltiazem increased adriamycin accumulation in the resistant cells to a level similar to that in the sensitive ones. The effect of progesterone was much less. |
