High incidence of alternatively spliced forms of deoxycytidine kinase in patients with resistant acute myeloid leukemia
15 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of functional deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) is a common characteristic for in vitro resistance to cytarabine (AraC). To investigate whether dCK is also a target for induction of AraC resistance in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we determined dCK messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in (purified) leukemic blasts and phytohemagglutinin-stimulated T cells (PHA T cells) from patients with...
