Abstract excerpt
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) results from transformation of a primitive hematopoietic cell by the BCR/ABL gene. The specific BCR/ABL signaling mechanisms responsible for transformation of primitive human hematopoietic cells are not well defined. Previous studies have suggested that constitutively activated tyrosine kinase activity plays an important role for in abnormal proliferation of CML progenitors but...
