Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the expression of the M-CSF receptor (c-fms) in 16 freshly isolated acute promyelocytic leukemias (APL) expressing the PML/RAR alpha fusion protein. In parallel, we evaluated the capacity of these cells to differentiate along the granulocytic and monocytic pathways. c-fms was constitutively and constantly expressed in all cases sensitive in vivo to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and its...
