Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor C/EBPalpha plays a critical role in the process of granulocytic differentiation. Recently, mutations that abrogated transcriptional activation of C/EBPalpha were detected in acute myeloid leukemia patient samples. Moreover, the progression of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) to blast crisis in patients was correlated with down-modulation of C/EBPalpha. The KCL22 cell line, derived from...
