Abstract excerpt
Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) protein plays a dual role in regulation of mitosis and inhibition of apoptosis. Survivin is expressed in embryonic and fetal organs as well as in most human cancers, but not in normal differentiated adult tissues. In this study we investigated the molecular mechanism involved in overexpression of survivin in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We used methylation specific PCR...
