HSC70 directed diagnostics and therapeutics for multidrug resistant neoplastic disease

摘要

Disclosed are methods for detecting neoplastic or damaged cells and for detecting multidrug resistance in neoplastic or damaged cells by detecting an increase in the cell surface expression of a heat shock cognate (HSC70) protein 70 on the surface of such a multidrug resistant neoplastic or damaged cells as compared to the level of expression of the HSC70 protein on the surface of a normal cell.
