Abstract excerpt
The functions of JunB during myelopoiesis were studied in vivo. Transgenic mice specifically lacking JunB expression in the myeloid lineage (junB(-/-)Ubi-junB mice) develop a transplantable myeloproliferative disease eventually progressing to blast crisis, which resembles human chronic myeloid leukemia. Similarly, mice reconstituted with ES cell-derived junB-/- fetal liver cells also develop a myeloproliferative...
