The values of mean channel fluorescence are shown after staining with Rh123 (T0), and after 3 hour efflux without inhibitors (T3), with inhibitors of 1 μmol/L CsA (T3/CsA), and of 1 μmol/L PSC 833 (T3/PSC833). Percent inhibition of efflux was calculated by incorporating Rh123 fluorescence values into the following formula: 100 (T3/CsA or T3/PSC833 − T0)/(T3 − T0).
