Expression of functional c-kit receptors rescues the genetic defect of W mutant mast cells.

Abstract excerpt

Loss-of-function mutations in the gene for the c-kit tyrosine kinase receptor are strongly implicated in the developmental abnormalities of W mutant mice. To dissect further the relationship between kit and the W phenotype, retroviruses carrying the normal murine c-kit gene were constructed. In infected cells, the level of c-kit expression from these vectors varied markedly with different promoter elements, the...
