Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) is induced by the Bcr-Abl fusion protein. Inhibition of Bcr-Abl by STI571 is widely used to treat CML patients. Unlike in most cancer types, the frequency of p53 mutations in CML is low. Here, we investigated the effect of STI571 treatment of CML cells on p53 r...
