Popis: BACKGROUND: Increased expression of multidrug resistance transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), has been suggested as a potential mechanism for decreased protease inhibitor (PI) availability at certain intracellular sites and tissue compartments. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of PIs on the surface lymphocyte expression of P-gp in vitro and in vivo. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy subjects (n = 15) and incubated (72 h) with 10 microM of each PI studied (saquinavir, ritonavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, amprenavir and lopinavir), or dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) control. PBMCs were also isolated from HIV-infected subjects (n = 50; viral load
