To validate the specificity of the polyvalent antiserum 1708 and MAb 16A11, we obtained the defined cell line system reported previously [21,37,38], which consists of the non-transfected parent cell line 2008 (human ovarian carcinoma) transfected to express either MRP1, MRP2, or MRP3, the HEK293 cell line transfected to express MRP4, and the MCDK canine kidney cell line transfected to express MRP5. This evidence concerns the gene ABCC5 and ovarian carcinoma.
