Primitive, quiescent, Philadelphia-positive stem cells from patients with chronic myeloid leukemia are insensitive to STI571 in vitro
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
In clinical trials, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 has proven highly effective in reducing leukemic cell burden in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The overall sensitivity of CML CD34(+) progenitor cells to STI571 and the degree to which cell death was dependent on cell cycle status were determined. Stem cells (Lin(-)CD34(+)) from the peripheral blood of patients with CML in chronic phase and from...
