Increased activity of Pgp multidrug transporter in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection

Figure 1 FACS analysis of Rh123 accumulation as a function of Pgp activity (A-C): (A) GBS were stained with a fluorescent substrate Rh123 in the presence (overlaid histogram) or absence (filled histogram) of the MDR reversing agent CyA. Pgp activity is expressed as RMF, a ratio of mean fluorescences obtained from the gated viable cell population. RMF ≥1 considered positive; (B) resistant (Pgp-positive/active) and (C) sensitive (Pgp-negative/inactive) control cell lines.
