Abstract excerpt
Differentiation mechanisms and inflammatory functions of neutrophils and macrophages are usually studied by genetic and biochemical approaches that require costly breeding and time-consuming purification to obtain phagocytes for functional analysis. Because Hox oncoproteins enforce self-renewal of factor-dependent myeloid progenitors, we queried whether estrogen-regulated Hoxb8 (ER-Hoxb8) could immortalize...
