11 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) arises by transformation of a progenitor (pre-B) cell. Cure rates in adults remain low and treatment is complicated by support provided by the microenvironment to the leukemic cells, indicating an urgent need to better understand the factors that promote their survival. B-cell-activating factor (BAFF) and its receptor BAFF-R are important for survival and growth of...
