Subsequently, we identified the isolated LSCs by examination of typical stem cell gene expression, cell surface marker ABCB1 (P-gp), which was preferentially expressed in LSCs [20,21], self-renewal ability, and drug resistance (using three first-line AML drugs, Ara-C, Dexamethasone and L-aspartic acid). The gene discussed is PGP; the disease is acute myeloid leukemia.
