Insertion of c- Myc into Igh Induces B-Cell and Plasma-Cell Neoplasms in Mice
15 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
We used gene targeting in mice to insert a His(6)-tagged mouse c-Myc cDNA, Myc(His), head to head into the mouse immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus, Igh, just 5' of the intronic enhancer, Emu. The insertion of Myc(His) mimicked both the human t(8;14)(q24;q32) translocation that results in the activation of MYC in human endemic Burkitt lymphomas and the homologous mouse T(12;15) translocation that deregulates Myc in...
