Disordered T-Cell Development and T-Cell Malignancies in SCL LMO1 Double-Transgenic Mice: Parallels with E2A-Deficient Mice
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
The gene most commonly activated by chromosomal rearrangements in patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is SCL/tal. In collaboration with LMO1 or LMO2, the thymic expression of SCL/tal leads to T-ALL at a young age with a high degree of penetrance in transgenic mice. We now show that SCL LMO1 double-transgenic mice display thymocyte developmental abnormalities in terms of proliferation,...
