CD154 induces a switch in pro‐survival Bcl‐2 family members in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
23 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells survive and proliferate in patients but rapidly die in culture. The microenvironment that sustains leukaemic cells in vivo contains both stromal cell elements and T cells. We defined changes in Bcl-2 family protein expression on culture with CD40 ligand (CD154) expressed on mouse fibroblast L cells, and interleukin-4 (IL-4; CD154/IL-4 system): conditions that support survival...
