<jats:p>The plasma membranes of hamster, mouse, and human tumor cell lines that display multiple resistance to drugs were examined by gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. In every case, increased expression of a 170,000-dalton surface antigen was found to be correlated with multidrug resistance. This membrane component is of identical molecular size and shares some immunogenic homology with the previously characterized P-glycoprotein of colchicine-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cells. This finding may have application to cancer therapy.</jats:p>
