Abstract excerpt
The major mechanism of action of STI571 is a competitive interference with the ATP-binding site of the Bcr/Abl tyrosine kinase. In the BCR/ABL-positive cell line KBM5, we studied cellular events associated with the in vitro acquisition of resistance to STI571. The emergence of the STI571-resistant phenotype was accompanied by only a marginal increase in the number of copies of the BCR/ABL gene and its level of...
