Abstract excerpt
Internal tandem duplication mutations in the Flt3 tyrosine kinase gene (ITD-Flt3) and overexpression of Survivin are frequently found in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We investigated whether Survivin mediates the enhanced survival of primary hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) resulting from ITD-Flt3 signaling. Ectopic ITD-Flt3 mutants increased Survivin expression in Ba/F3 cells downstream of...
