Flow cytometric measurement of phosphorylated STAT5 in AML: lack of specific association with FLT3 internal tandem duplications.

Abstract excerpt

STAT5 phosphorylation has been noted in 69-95% of AML cases by Western blotting. We used flow cytometry to measure phosphorylated STAT5 on a semi-quantitative scale. The method was validated on K562 cells, which constitutively express phosphorylated STAT5, but lose this when BCR-abl tyrosine kinase activity is blocked by STI571. Phosphorylated STAT5 was found to measure 2.22+/-0.09 relative fluorescence units...
