Abstract excerpt
The Bcr-Abl fusion protein arising through the t(9;22)(q34;q11) reciprocal translocation is the causative agent in chronic myeloid leukemia and a subset of acute lymphocytic leukemia. Imatinib mesylate is a specific inhibitor of the Bcr-Abl kinase and has shown promising results in clinical studies. The structural relation between the Bcr-Abl oncogene and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib has recently been...
