The development of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is dependent on the deregulated tyrosine kinase of the oncoprotein BCR-ABL. STI571 (imatinib mesylate), an abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has proven remarkably effective for the treatment of CML. However, resistance to STI571 because of enhanced expression or mutation of the BCR-ABL gene has been detected in patients. In the current study we show that the farnesyl...
