Abstract excerpt
The most common chromosomal translocation in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), t15;17(q22;q21), creates PMLRARalpha and RARalphaPML fusion genes. We previously developed a mouse model of APL by expressing PMLRARalpha in murine myeloid cells. In order to examine the mechanisms by which PMLRARalpha can initiate leukemia, we have now generated transgenic mice expressing PMLRARalpham4 and RARalpham4, proteins that...
