Abstract excerpt
Several sets of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) play important roles in apoptosis induced by various extracellular stresses. Anti-cancer drugs induce cellular DNA damage and cytotoxic events, leading to apoptotic cell death. We utilized the established chicken B cell line, DT40 cells and their derived mutants, lacking the respective PTK [DT40/Syk(-), DT40/Lyn(-) and DT40/Btk(-)], to examine a role of...
