Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) has been implicated in proliferation and survival downstream from the tyrosine kinase oncogene, p210 BCR-ABL, in chronic myeloid leukemia. We studied whether a similar relationship between JNK and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) describes acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS: By immunoprecipitation, Flt3 was found to be activated and identified as the potential origin...
