Expression of a <i>CALM-AF10</i> Fusion Gene Leads to <i>Hoxa</i> Cluster Overexpression and Acute Leukemia in Transgenic Mice
1 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
To assess the role of the CALM-AF10 fusion gene in leukemic transformation in vivo, we generated transgenic mice that expressed a CALM-AF10 fusion gene. Depending on the transgenic line, at least 40% to 50% of the F(1) generation mice developed acute leukemia at a median age of 12 months. Leukemic mice typically had enlarged spleens, invasion of parenchymal organs with malignant cells, and tumors with myeloid...
