Pre-TCR expression cooperates with TEL-JAK2 to transform immature thymocytes and induce T-cell leukemia
27 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
The TEL-JAK2 gene fusion, which has been identified in human leukemia, encodes a chimeric protein endowed with constitutive tyrosine kinase activity. TEL-JAK2 transgenic expression in the mouse lymphoid lineage results in fatal and rapid T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. In the present report we show that T-cell leukemic cells from EmuSRalpha-TEL-JAK2 transgenic mice present an aberrant CD8(+) differentiation phenotype,...
