Abstract excerpt
An internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the juxtamembrane (JM) domain of FLT3 (FLT3/ITD) has been found in 20% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is correlated with leukocytosis and a poor prognosis. Here, we compared the antiapoptotic effects of wild-type FLT3 (WtFLT3) and FLT3/ITD in terms of the regulation of Bcl-2 family members. In a murine myeloid cell line, 32D, interleukin-3 (IL-3)...
