Abstract excerpt
Mice deficient for Spa-1 encoding Rap GTPase-activating protein develop myeloproliferative disorder (MPD) of late onset with frequent blast crises. The mechanisms for MPD development as well as the reasons for long latency, however, remain elusive. We demonstrate here that preleukemic, disease-free Spa-1(-/-) mice show reduced steady-state hematopoiesis and attenuated resistance to whole body γ-ray irradiation,...
