The AF4·MLL fusion protein is capable of inducing ALL in mice without requirement of MLL·AF4

Abstract excerpt

The chromosomal translocation t(4;11)(q21;q23) is the most frequent genetic aberration of the human MLL gene, resulting in high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). To elucidate the leukemogenic potential of the fusion proteins MLL.AF4 and AF4.MLL, Lin(-)/Sca1(+) purified cells (LSPCs) were retrovirally transduced with either both fusion genes or with MLL.AF4 or AF4.MLL alone. Recipients of AF4.MLL- or...
