Induction of granulocytic differentiation by 2 pathways
15 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
The CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBP alpha) transcription factor plays a critical role in granulocytopoiesis. Mice with a disruption of the C/EBP alpha gene demonstrate an early block in granulocytic differentiation, and disruption of C/EBP alpha function is a common theme in many types of human acute myelogenous leukemia, which is characterized by a block in myeloid development. To characterize...
