Abstract excerpt
Blast cell survival in suspension culture is associated with chemoresistance in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Autonomous production of IL-1beta by AML blasts is linked with a proliferative response, although its role in survival and hence apoptosis-resistance has not been examined in this disease. Cells that secreted more than 19.7 pg/ml IL-1beta were significantly more resistant to spontaneous apoptosis in 48-h...
