Overexpression of multidrug resistance gene, (MDR1) is responsible for the resistance of anticancer agents in cancer cells. In this study, we designed three pairs of DNA primers to clone MDR, cDNA from human normal liver by polymerase chain reaction. The sites of these primers in MDR cDNA are (I)-64-46 (5') and 1680-1698 (3'); (II) 1471-1489 (5') and 2905-2923 (3'); (III)2729-2747 (5') and 3845-3863 (3). The three reactions were underwent after the human normal liver mRNA was reverse transcripted into single strand DNA. The lengths of PCR products are 1762bp, 1452 bp and 1134bp, respectively. The former two products were subcloned in pBluscript SK, respectively and the latter product was subcloned in pGEM7Z (named as pMDR1.7, pMDR1.4 and pMDRl.l, respectively). Cloned genes were certificated as MDR1 cDNA by sequence analysis. Full-length MDR, cDNA was obtained after further subcloning. Full-length MDR1 cDNA we obtained will be a very important tool in molecular diagnosis and gene therapy of anticancer drug resistance.
