Abstract excerpt
The Ink4b gene (Cdkn2b) encodes p15(Ink4b), a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. It has been implicated in playing a role in the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in man, since it is hypermethylated with high frequency. We provide evidence that the gene is a tumor suppressor for myeloid leukemia in mice. The evidence is twofold: (1) retrovirus-induced myeloid leukemias of the myelomonocytic phenotype...
