Abstract excerpt
The AML1/CBFbeta transcription factor complex, a frequent target of chromosomal translocations in leukemia, is essential for the generation of definitive hematopoietic stem cells. Paradoxically, expression of the acute myeloid leukemia-associated AML1-ETO fusion protein in mice results not in leukemia, but in embryonic lethality due to an absence of normal hematopoiesis. To bypass the embryonic lethality, we...
