Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations of FLT3 involving internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the juxtamembrane domain or point mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) appear to activate FLT3 in a FLT3 ligand (FL)-independent manner. To determine whether or not FLT3 mutants respond to FL for their activation, a FL-deficient (FL(-/-)) murine embryo fibroblast (MEF) cell line was established. Expression of FLT3/ITD and FLT3/TKD...
