Selective Inhibition of Leukemia Cell Proliferation by BCR-ABL Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotides
2 Aug 1991
Abstract excerpt
To determine the role of the BCR-ABL gene in the proliferation of blast cells of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia, leukemia blast cells were exposed to synthetic 18-mer oligodeoxynucleotides complementary to two identified BCR-ABL junctions. Leukemia colony formation was suppressed, whereas granulocyte-macrophage colony formation from normal marrow progenitors was unaffected. When equal proportions of...
